Discovery and dynamics of a Sedna-like object with a perihelion of 66 au
Ying-Tung Chen, Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Yukun Huang +30
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with large perihelion distances ( au) and semi-major axes ( au) provide insights into the early evolution of the solar system and th…
An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons
JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22
A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…
Re-recognized universality of Kozai oscillation on three-body dynamics
Masanori Iye, Takashi Ito
In 1962, Yoshihide Kozai reported his findings on the secular dynamics of asteroids moving in orbits with high inclination and eccentricity. In contrast to the classic understandin…
The doubly librating Plutinos
Renu Malhotra, Takashi Ito
Named for orbital kinship with Pluto, the Plutinos are a prominent group of Kuiper Belt objects whose orbital periods are in libration about the 3/2 ratio with Neptune's. We invest…
An estimate of resident time of the Oort Cloud new comets in planetary region
Takashi Ito, Arika Higuchi
We describe the result of our numerical orbit simulation which traces dynamical evolution of new comets coming from the Oort Cloud. We combine two dynamical models for this purpose…
Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons Subaru TNO Survey
Wesley C. Fraser, Simon B. Porter, Lowell Peltier +41
We report the detection of 239 trans-Neptunian Objects discovered through the on-going New Horizons survey for distant minor bodies being performed with the Hyper Suprime-Cam mosai…
A deep analysis for New Horizons' KBO search images
Fumi Yoshida, Toshifumi Yanagisawa, Takashi Ito +8
Observation datasets acquired by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on the Subaru Telescope for NASA's New Horizons mission target search were analyzed through a method devised by JAXA. T…
Is There an Earth-like Planet in the Distant Kuiper Belt?
Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Takashi Ito
The orbits of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) can indicate the existence of an undiscovered planet in the outer solar system. Here, we used N-body computer simulations to investigat…
FOSSIL: I. The Spin Rate Limit of Jupiter Trojans
Chan-Kao Chang, Ying-Tung Chen, Wesley C. Fraser +25
Rotation periods of 53 small (diameters km) Jupiter Trojans (JTs) were derived using the high-cadence light curves obtained by the FOSSIL phase I survey, a Subaru/Hype…
Constraining the Formation of the Four Terrestrial Planets in the Solar System
Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Takashi Ito
To reproduce the orbits and masses of the terrestrial planets (analogs) of the solar system, most studies scrutinize simulations for success as a batch. However, there is insuffici…
Terrestrial Planet Formation: Constraining the Formation of Mercury
Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Takashi Ito
The formation of the four terrestrial planets of the solar system is one of the most fundamental problems in the planetary sciences. However, the formation of Mercury remains poorl…
