High-resolution Imaging of the Gegenschein and the Geometric Albedo of Interplanetary Dust

Masateru Ishiguro, Hongu Yang, Fumihiko Usui +5

We made optical observations of the Gegenschein using a liquid-nitrogen-cooled wide-field camera, Wide-field Imager of Zodiacal light with ARray Detector (WIZARD), between March 20…

The dynamical evolution of dwarf planet (136108) Haumea's collisional family: General properties and implications for the trans-Neptunian belt

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Jonathan Horner, Tadashi Mukai +1

Recently, the first collisional family was identified in the trans-Neptunian belt. The family consists of Haumea and at least ten other ~100km-sized trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)…

Origin and Dynamical Evolution of Neptune Trojans - II: Long Term Evolution

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Jonathan Horner, Barrie W. Jones +1

We present results examining the fate of the Trojan clouds produced in our previous work. We find that the stability of Neptunian Trojans seems to be strongly correlated to their i…

An Outer Planet Beyond Pluto and Origin of the Trans-Neptunian Belt Architecture

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Tadashi Mukai

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are remnants of a collisionally and dynamically evolved planetesimal disk in the outer solar system. This complex structure, known as the trans-Neptu…

Resonance sticking in the scattered disk

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Tadashi Mukai

We investigate the dynamical evolution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in typical scattered disk orbits (scattered TNOs) by performing simulations using several thousand particle…

Sequential Formation of Low-Mass Stars in the BRC 14 Region

Ikuko Matsuyanagi, Yoichi Itoh, Koji Sugitani +3

We have carried out a deep near-infrared survey of a bright-rimmed molecular cloud, BRC 14 (IC 1848A). The 10 sigma limiting magnitude of the survey is 17.7 mag at the K-band. Seve…
