Distant TNO Inclinations as a Constraint on Primordial Cluster Perturbations in the Presence of Planet Nine
Avni Bansal, Ian Brunton, Konstantin Batygin +2
The Sun was almost certainly born in a stellar cluster, implying some degree of external forcing from neighboring stars during the Solar System's infancy. Published estimates of th…
A Census Before Rubin of Asteroid Families in the Main Belt
David Nesvorny
A collisional family is a collection of >km-size asteroid fragments produced by a large scale collision between asteroids. Here we cataloged 335 notable collisional families in the…
Discovery of 63 New Young Asteroid Families
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Miroslav Broz +1
We searched for young asteroid families -- those with ages t_age < 10 Myr and at least three members -- using the proper element catalog from Nesvorny et al. (2024). Our approach e…
Terrestrial Planet Formation from Two Source Reservoirs
David Nesvorny, Alessandro Morbidelli, William F. Bottke +2
This work describes new dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation. The simulations started at the protoplanetary disk stage, when planetesimals formed and accreted into…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
Size-Frequency Distribution of Terrestrial Leftover Planetesimals and S-complex Implanted Asteroids
Rogerio Deienno, Andre Izidoro, David Nesvorny +3
The isotopic composition of meteorites linked to S-complex asteroids has been used to suggest that these asteroids originated in the terrestrial planet's region, i.e., within 1.5 a…
