The Transition from the Kuiper Belt to the Jupiter-Family (Comets)
Wesley C. Fraser, Luke Dones, Kathryn Volk +2
Kuiper Belt Objects, or more generally Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), are planetesimals found beyond the orbit of Neptune. Some TNOs evolve onto Neptune-crossing orbits and become…
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann: A Rosetta Stone for Amorphous Water Ice and CO <-> CO2 Conversion in Centaurs and Comets?
C. M. Lisse, J. K. Steckloff, D. Prialnik +12
Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (SW1) is a highly active object orbiting in the transitional Gateway region (Sarid et al. 2019) between the Centaur and Jupiter Family Comet regi…
Orbital dynamics landscape near the most distant known trans-Neptunian objects
Kathryn Volk, Renu Malhotra
The most distant known trans-Neptunian objects (perihelion distance above 38 au and semimajor axis above 150 au) are of interest for their potential to reveal past, external, or pr…
Col-OSSOS: Evidence for a compositional gradient inherited from the protoplanetary disk?
Michael Marsset, Wesley C. Fraser, Megan E. Schwamb +7
In the present-day Kuiper Belt, the number of compositional classes and the orbital distributions of these classes hold important cosmogonic implications for the Solar System. In a…
Col-OSSOS: The Two Types of Kuiper Belt Surfaces
Wesley C. Fraser, Rosemary E. Pike Michael Marsset, Megan E. Schwamb +10
The Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS) has gathered high quality, near-simultaneous (g-r) and (r-J) colours of 92 Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) with (u-g) an…
Col-OSSOS: The Distribution of Surface Classes in Neptune's Resonances
Rosemary E. Pike, Wesley C. Fraser, Kathryn Volk +9
The distribution of surface classes of resonant trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) provides constraints on the protoplanetesimal disk and giant planet migration. To better understand t…
