Dynamical origin of the Dwarf Planet Ceres
Rafael Ribeiro de Sousa, Alessandro Morbidelli, Rodney Gomes +3
The Dwarf Planet Ceres revealed the presence of ammonia and other unique properties compared to other asteroids in the main belt which suggests that it was not formed in situ. We m…
The Formation of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt by a Short Range Transport Mechanism
Rodney Gomes
The Classical Kuiper Belt is populated by a group of objects with low inclination orbits, reddish colors and usually belonging to a binary system. This so called Cold Classical Kui…
Dynamical evidence for an early giant planet instability
Rafael Ribeiro de Sousa, Alessandro Morbidelli, Sean N. Raymond +3
The dynamical structure of the Solar System can be explained by a period of orbital instability experienced by the giant planets. While a late instability was originally proposed t…
Dynamical effects on the classical Kuiper Belt during the excited-Neptune model
Rafael Ribeiro de Sousa, Rodney Gomes, Alessandro Morbidelli +1
The link between the dynamical evolution of the giant planets and the Kuiper Belt orbital structure can provide clues and insight about the dynamical history of the Solar System. T…
The Influence of Planet 9 on the Orbits of Distant TNOs: The Case for a Low Perihelion Planet
Jessica Cáceres, Rodney Gomes
The hypothesis of an additional planet in the outer Solar System has gained new support as a result of the confinement noted in the angular orbital elements of distant trans-Neptun…
The excitation of a primordial cold asteroid belt as an outcome of the planetary instability
Rogerio Deienno, Andre Izidoro, Alessandro Morbidelli +3
The main asteroid belt (MB) is low in mass but dynamically excited. Here we propose a new mechanism to excite the MB during the giant planet ('Nice model') instability, which is ex…
