On the Long-Term Orbital Behaviour of Hilda Asteroids - I. Global Stability Patterns and Catalogue

Cristian F. Chavez, Jonathan Horner, Patryk Sofia Lykawka +2

The Hildas are objects trapped in 3:2 mean-motion resonance (MMR) with Jupiter, and are a fascinating window into the Solar system's formation and evolution. We present the results…

Kuiper Belt Formation via Grainy Planetary Migration

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Jonathan Horner, Pedro Bernardinelli

We used N-body simulations to model the 4.5 Gyr orbital evolution of the early Kuiper Belt, incorporating a massive protoplanetary disk, the four giant planets, and 1500 primordial…

(1173) Anchises - Thermophysical and Dynamical Studies of a Dynamically Unstable Jovian Trojan

J. Horner, T. G. Müller, P. S. Lykawka

We have performed detailed thermophysical and dynamical modelling of Jovian Trojan (1173) Anchises. Our results reveal a most unusual object. By examining observational data taken…

2008 LC18: a potentially unstable Neptune Trojan

J. Horner, P. S. Lykawka, M. T. Bannister +1

The recent discovery of the first Neptune Trojan at the planet's trailing (L5) Lagrange point, 2008 LC18, offers an opportunity to confirm the formation mechanism of a member of th…

The Capture of Trojan Asteroids by the Giant Planets During Planetary Migration

P. S. Lykawka, J. Horner

Of the four giant planets in the Solar system, only Jupiter and Neptune are currently known to possess swarms of Trojan asteroids - small objects that experience a 1:1 mean motion…

2001 QR322: a dynamically unstable Neptune Trojan?

J. Horner, P. S. Lykawka

Since early work on the stability of the first Neptunian Trojan, 2001 QR322, suggested that it was a dynamically stable, primordial body, it has been assumed this applies to both t…

The Neptune Trojans - a new source for the Centaurs?

J. Horner, P. S. Lykawka

The fact that the Centaurs are the primary source of the Short Period Comets is well established. However, the origin of the Centaurs themselves is still under some debate, with a…

Origin and Dynamical Evolution of Neptune Trojans - I: Formation and Planetary Migration

P. S. Lykawka, J. Horner, B. W. Jones +1

We present the results of detailed dynamical simulations of the effect of the migration of the four giant planets on both the transport of pre-formed Neptune Trojans, and the captu…
