Fast Inversion Method for Determination of Planetary Parameters from Transit Timing Variations
David Nesvorny, Cristian Beauge
The Transit Timing Variation (TTV) method relies on monitoring changes in timing of transits of known exoplanets. Non-transiting planets in the system can be inferred from TTVs by…
Cometary Origin of the Zodiacal Cloud and Carbonaceous Micrometeorites
David Nesvorny, Peter Jenniskens, Harold F. Levison +2
The zodiacal cloud is a thick circumsolar disk of small debris particles produced by asteroid collisions and comets. Here, we present a zodiacal cloud model based on the orbital pr…
Asteroids Were Born Big
Alessandro Morbidelli, William Bottke, David Nesvorny +1
How big were the first planetesimals? We attempt to answer this question by conducting coagulation simulations in which the planetesimals grow by mutual collisions and form larger…
Considerations on the magnitude distributions of the Kuiper belt and of the Jupiter Trojans
Morbidelli Alessandro, Harold F. Levison, William Bottke +2
By examining the absolute magnitude (H) distributions (hereafter HD) of the cold and hot populations in the Kuiper belt and of the Trojans of Jupiter, we find evidence that the Tro…
