Measuring Apsidal Clustering

The Astrophysical Journal
The decade-long debate over the existence of apsidal clustering in the outer solar system is poised for reignition given the plethora of distant trans-Neptunian object (TNO) discoveries expected from the forthcoming Vera C.

The Luminosity Function of Ultrafaint Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by JWST

The Astronomical Journal
We present a definitive discovery of 27 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) using the Near-Infrared Camera aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). By employing a shift-and-stack technique and a machine learning network geared specifically to identifying

A Near-infrared Survey of Candidate Haumea Family Members

The Astronomical Journal
The Haumea family is the only known dynamical family in the trans-Neptunian region. To date, 10 family members have been unambiguously identified using near-infrared (NIR) spectral or photometric data in combination with their strong dynamical proximity ...

The Inner Kernel of the Classical Kuiper Belt

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The “kernel” of the classical Kuiper Belt was discovered by Petit et al. as a visual overdensity of objects with low ecliptic inclinations and eccentricities at semimajor axes near ∼44 au.

Early Stellar Flybys are Unlikely: Improved Constraints from Sednoids and Large-q Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Sedna-like objects (a.k.a. sednoids) are trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) characterized by large semimajor axes and exceptionally high perihelia. Their high- q orbits are detached from the influence of the four giant planets and need extra perturbation to ...
