Planets Near Mean-Motion Resonances
Cristobal Petrovich, Renu Malhotra, Scott Tremaine
The multiple-planet systems discovered by the Kepler mission exhibit the following feature: planet pairs near first-order mean-motion resonances prefer orbits just outside the nomi…
Do Centaurs preserve their source inclinations?
Kathryn Volk, Renu Malhotra
The Centaurs are a population of small, planet-crossing objects in the outer solar system. They are dynamically short-lived and represent the transition population between the Kuip…
The effect of orbital evolution on the Haumea (2003 EL61) collisional family
Kathryn Volk, Renu Malhotra
The Haumea family is currently the only identified collisional family in the Kuiper belt. We numerically simulate the long-term dynamical evolution of the family to estimate a lowe…
Chaotic exchange of solid material between planetary systems: implications for lithopanspermia
Edward Belbruno, Amaya Moro-Martin, Renu Malhotra +1
We examine a low energy mechanism for the transfer of meteoroids between two planetary systems embedded in a star cluster using quasi-parabolic orbits of minimal energy. Using Mont…
Lightcurves of the Karin family asteroids
Fumi Yoshida, Takashi Ito, Budi Dermawan +10
The Karin family is a very young asteroid family created by an asteroid breakup 5.8 Myr ago. Since the members of this family probably have not experienced significant orbital or c…
