Rotational Study of 5:3 and 7:4 Resonant Objects within the Main Classical Trans-Neptunian Belt

The Planetary Science Journal
The 5:3 and 7:4 mean motion resonances of Neptune are at 42.3 and 43.7 au, respectively, and overlap with objects in the classical trans-Neptunian belt (Kuiper Belt).

Logos-Zoe: A Contact Binary Triple System in the Trans-Neptunian Belt

The Astronomical Journal
The trans-Neptunian object (58534) 1997 CQ _29 (a.k.a. Logos) is a resolved wide binary in the dynamically Cold Classical population. With Hubble Space Telescope resolved observations where the primary Logos is well separated from its secondary Zoe it ...

Capturing Trojans and Irregular Satellites - the key required to unlock planetary migration [PDF]

, 2013
It is now accepted that the Solar system's youth was a dynamic and chaotic time. The giant planets migrated significant distances to reach their current locations, and evidence of that migration's influence on the Solar system abounds.

Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs at thermal wavelengths

, 2019
The thermal emission of transneptunian objects (TNO) and Centaurs has been observed at mid- and far-infrared wavelengths - with the biggest contributions coming from the Spitzer and Herschel space observatories-, and the brightest ones also at sub ...

Synchronous Rotation in the (120347) Salacia–Actaea System

The Planetary Science Journal
We report on roughly 16 yr of photometric monitoring of the trans-Neptunian binary system (120347) Salacia–Actaea, which provides significant evidence that Salacia and Actaea are tidally locked to the mutual orbital period in a fully synchronous ...

"TNOs are Cool": A survey of the trans-Neptunian region VI. Herschel/PACS observations and thermal modeling of 19 classical Kuiper belt objects

, 2012
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNO) represent the leftovers of the formation of the Solar System. Their physical properties provide constraints to the models of formation and evolution of the various dynamical classes of objects in the outer Solar System ...

Generation of Low-inclination, Neptune-crossing Trans-Neptunian Objects by Planet Nine

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The solar system’s distant reaches exhibit a wealth of anomalous dynamical structure, hinting at the presence of a yet-undetected, massive trans-Neptunian body—Planet Nine (P9).

KCTF Evolution of Trans-Neptunian Binaries: Connecting Formation to Observation

, 2012
Recent observational surveys of trans-neptunian binary (TNB) systems have dramatically increased the number of known mutual orbits. Our Kozai Cycle Tidal Friction (KCTF) simulations of synthetic trans-neptunian binaries show that tidal dissipation in ...
