The Ratio of Retrograde to Prograde Orbits: A Test for Kuiper Belt Binary Formation Theories
Hilke E. Schlichting, Re'em Sari
With the discovery of Kuiper Belt binaries that have wide separations and roughly equal masses new theories were proposed to explain their formation. Two formation scenarios were s…
Formation of Kuiper Belt Binaries
Hilke E. Schlichting, Re'em Sari
The discovery that a substantial fraction of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) exists in binaries with wide separations and roughly equal masses, has motivated a variety of new theories e…
The effect of Semi-Collisional Accretion on Planetary Spins
Hilke E. Schlichting, Re'em Sari
Planetesimal accretion during planet formation is usually treated as collisionless. Such accretion from a uniform and dynamically cold disk predicts protoplanets with slow retrogra…
The Self-Similarity of Shear-Dominated Viscous Stirring
Benjamin F. Collins, Hilke E. Schlichting, Re'em Sari
We examine the growth of eccentricities of a population of particles with initially circular orbits around a central massive body. Successive encounters between pairs of particles…
