Prospects for unseen planets beyond Neptune
Renu Malhotra
Several anomalous features in the orbital distribution of distant Kuiper Belt objects have recently sparked suggestions of an unseen large planet (or two) orbiting beyond Neptune.…
ALMA 1.3 Millimeter Map of the HD 95086 System
Kate Y. L. Su, Meredith A. Macgregor, Mark Booth +11
Planets and minor bodies such as asteroids, Kuiper-belt objects and comets are integral components of a planetary system. Interactions among them leave clues about the formation pr…
The curiously warped mean plane of the Kuiper belt
Kathryn Volk, Renu Malhotra
We measured the mean plane of the Kuiper belt as a function of semi-major axis. For the classical Kuiper belt as a whole (the non-resonant objects in the semi-major axis range 42--…
Mean motion resonances at high eccentricities: the 2:1 and the 3:2 interior resonances
Xianyu Wang, Renu Malhotra
Mean motion resonances [MMRs] play an important role in the formation and evolution of planetary systems and have significantly influenced the orbital properties and distribution o…
Simplified derivation of the collision probability of two objects in independent Keplerian orbits
Youngmin JeongAhn, Renu Malhotra
Many topics in planetary studies demand an estimate of the collision probability of two objects moving on nearly Keplerian orbits. In the classic works of Öpik (1951) and Wetherill…
