The Surfaces of Small to Midsize Plutinos: Evidence of an Association between Inclination and Surface Type

The Planetary Science Journal
Being one of the most populated mean motion resonances (MMRs) with Neptune and lying close to the inner boundary of the present-day cold classical disk, observations of the orbital and surface class distributions of the plutinos in the 3:2 MMR provide ...

Historical Surveys to Rubin First Look: Absolute Colors of Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Planetary Science Journal
We present a comprehensive photometric study of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) by combining data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey, the Dark Energy Survey, and the recent Rubin First Look (RFL) data ...

Nitrogen-bearing Species on Trans-Neptunian Objects Revealed by JWST/DiSCo-TNOs

The Astrophysical Journal
C≡N-bearing species are valuable tracers of nitrogen chemistry in the solar system. Ranging from volatile compounds like HCN and CH _3 CN in cometary comae to refractory CN-bearing organics in some micrometeorites and interplanetary dust particles, these

Can Neptune’s Distant Mean Motion Resonances Constrain Undiscovered Planets in the Solar System? Lessons from a Case Study of the 9:1 Resonance

The Planetary Science Journal
Recent observational surveys of the outer solar system provide evidence that Neptune's distant n :1 mean motion resonances may harbor relatively large reservoirs of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). In particular, the discovery of two securely classified 9:

Irregular Moons Possibly Injected from the Outer Solar System by a Stellar Flyby

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The irregular moons orbit the giant planets on distant, inclined, and eccentric trajectories, in sharp contrast with the coplanar and quasicircular orbits of the regular moons.
