Analytical Solutions for Planet-Scattering Small Bodies
Yukun Huang, Brett Gladman, Eiichiro Kokubo
Gravitational scattering of small bodies (planetesimals) by a planet remains a fundamental problem in celestial mechanics. It is traditionally modeled within the circular restricte…
The Detectability of Lunar-Origin Asteroids in the LSST Era
Yixuan Wu, Yifei Jiao, Wen-Yue Dai +5
While most near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are thought to originate from the main belt, recent discoveries have suggested the existence of a lunar-derived NEA population, such as the a…
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…
Early Stellar Flybys are Unlikely: Improved Constraints from Sednoids and Large- TNOs
Qingru Hu, Yukun Huang, Brett Gladman +1
Sedna-like objects (a.k.a. sednoids) are transneptunian objects (TNOs) characterized by large semimajor axes and exceptionally high perihelia. Their high- orbits are detached fr…
Dynamics of Binary Planets within Star Clusters
Yukun Huang, Wei Zhu, Eiichiro Kokubo
We develop analytical tools and perform three-body simulations to investigate the orbital evolution and dynamical stability of binary planets within star clusters. Our analytical r…
Primordial Orbital Alignment of Sednoids
Yukun Huang, Brett Gladman
We examined the past history of the three most detached TransNeptunian Objects (TNOs) -- Sedna, 2012 VP113, and Leleakuhonua (2015 TG387) -- the three clearest members of the dynam…
OSSOS. XXIX. The Population and Perihelion Distribution of the Detached Kuiper Belt
Matthew Beaudoin, Brett Gladman, Yukun Huang +4
The detached transneptunian objects (TNOs) are those with semimajor axes beyond the 2:1 resonance with Neptune, which are neither resonant nor scattering. Using the detached sample…
A Rogue Planet Helps Populate the Distant Kuiper Belt
Yukun Huang, Brett Gladman, Matthew Beaudoin +1
The orbital distribution of transneptunian objects (TNOs) in the distant Kuiper Belt (with semimajor axes beyond the 2:1 resonance, roughly =50-100 au) provides constraints on t…
