A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in the Galaxy

John H. Livingston, Erik A. Petigura, Trevor J. David +39

The Galaxy's most common known planetary systems have several Earth-to-Neptune-size planets in compact orbits. At small orbital separations, larger planets are less common than the…

Rotational Light-curve Recovery and Predictions of the LSST Yield of Hildas

Alexander J. Fleming, Jacob A. Kurlander, Dmitrii E. Vavilov +4

The Hilda population occupies the stable 3:2 mean-motion resonance of Jupiter and provides a window into solar system evolution, including collisional processes. The National Scien…

Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Discovery Rates and Characterizations of Centaurs

Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Stephanie R. Merritt +16

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start by the end of 2025 and operate for ten years, offering billions of observations of the southern nigh…

Self-Gravitational Dynamics Within the Inner Oort Cloud

Konstantin Batygin, David Nesvorný

The formation of the Inner Oort Cloud (IOC) - a vast halo of icy bodies residing far beyond Neptune's orbit - is an expected outcome of the solar system's primordial evolution with…

Testing MOND on small bodies in the remote solar system

David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný, Scott Tremaine

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), which postulates a breakdown of Newton's laws of gravity/dynamics below some critical acceleration threshold, can explain many otherwise puzzlin…

Modeling the chronologies and size distributions of Ceres and Vesta craters

Fernando Roig, David Nesvorný

We infer the crater chronologies of Ceres and Vesta from a self-consistent dynamical model of asteroid impactors. The model accounts for planetary migration/instability early in th…
