A study of the high-inclination population in the Kuiper belt -- IV. High-order mean motion resonances in the classical region
Jian Li, S. M. Lawler, Hanlun Lei
In our previous study of Neptune's 4:7 mean motion resonance (MMR), we discovered that its resonant angle can only librate within a specific eccentricity () versus inclination (…
OSSOS: XXVII. Population Estimates for Theoretically Stable Centaurs Between Uranus and Neptune
Rosemary C. Dorsey, Michele T. Bannister, Samantha M. Lawler +1
We calculate the upper bounds of the population of theoretically stable Centaur orbits between Uranus and Neptune. These small bodies are on low-eccentricity, low-inclination orbit…
The Case for Space Environmentalism
A. Lawrence, M. L. Rawls, M. Jah +8
The shell bound by the Karman line at a height of 80 to 100km above the Earth's surface, and Geosynchronous Orbit, at 36,000km, is defined as the orbital space surrounding the Eart…
OSSOS XXV: Large Populations and Scattering-Sticking in the Distant Transneptunian Resonances
B. L. Crompvoets, S. M. Lawler, K. Volk +8
There have been 77 TNOs discovered to be librating in the distant transneptunian resonances (beyond the 2:1 resonance, at semimajor axes greater than 47.7~AU) in four well-characte…
Plaskett 1.8 metre Observations of Starlink Satellites
Aaron C. Boley, Ewan Wright, Samantha Lawler +2
We present observations of 23 Starlink satellites in the bandpass, obtained from the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory's Plaskett 1.8 metre telescope. The targets include a m…
Visibility Predictions for Near-Future Satellite Megaconstellations: Latitudes near 50 Degrees will Experience the Worst Light Pollution
S. M. Lawler, A. C. Boley, H. Rein
Megaconstellations of thousands to tens of thousands of artificial satellites (satcons) are rapidly being developed and launched. These satcons will have negative consequences for…
