Masses of Nix and Hydra
David J. Tholen, Marc W. Buie, William M. Grundy +1
A four-body orbit solution for the Pluto system yields GM values of 870.3 +/- 3.7, 101.4 +/- 2.8, 0.039 +/- 0.034, and 0.021 +/- 0.042 km3 sec-2 for Pluto, Charon, Nix, and Hydra,…
A Brief History of Trans-Neptunian Space
E. Chiang, Y. Lithwick, R. Murray-Clay +3
The Edgeworth-Kuiper belt encodes the dynamical history of the outer solar system. Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) bear witness to coagulation physics, the evolution of planetary orbits…
Procedures, Resources, and Selected Results of the Deep Ecliptic Survey
M. W. Buie, R. L. Millis, L. H. Wasserman +8
The Deep Ecliptic Survey is a project whose goal is to survey a large area of the near-ecliptic region to a faint limiting magnitude (R ~ 24) in search of objects in the outer sola…
Resonant and Secular Families in the Kuiper Belt
E. I. Chiang, J. R. Lovering, R. L. Millis +3
We review ongoing efforts to identify occupants of mean-motion resonances (MMRs) and collisional families in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. Direct integrations of trajectories of Kuipe…
Resonance Occupation in the Kuiper Belt: Case Examples of the 5:2 and Trojan Resonances
E. I. Chiang, A. B. Jordan, R. L. Millis +7
As part of our ongoing Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) of the Kuiper belt, we report on the occupation of the 1:1 (Trojan), 4:3, 3:2, 7:4, 2:1, and 5:2 Neptunian mean-motion resonances…
