An Oort cloud origin for the high-inclination, high-perihelion Centaurs
R. Brasser, M. E. Schwamb, P. S. Lykawka +1
We analyse the origin of three Centaurs with perihelia in the range 15 AU to 30 AU, inclinations above 70 deg and semi-major axes shorter than 100 AU. Based on long-term numerical…

Reassessing the formation of the inner Oort cloud in an embedded star cluster
R. Brasser, M. J. Duncan, H. F. Levison +2
We re-examine the formation of the inner Oort comet cloud while the Sun was in its birth cluster with the aid of numerical simulations. This work is a continuation of an earlier st…

Stability analysis of the Martian obliquity during the Noachian era
Ramon Brasser, Kevin J. Walsh
We performed numerical simulations of the obliquity evolution of Mars during the Noachian era, at which time the giant planets were on drastically different orbits than today. For…
