We report results from new and archival observations of the newly discovered active asteroid (248370) 2005 QN_137, which has been determined to be a likely main-belt comet based on…
Outer Solar System Perihelion Gap Formation Through Interactions with a Hypothetical Distant Giant Planet
William J. Oldroyd, Chadwick A. Trujillo
Among the outer solar system minor planet orbits there is an observed gap in perihelion between roughly 50 and 65 au at eccentricities . Through a suite of observatio…
