Resonance Occupation in the Kuiper Belt: Case Examples of the 5:2 and Trojan Resonances
E. I. Chiang, A. B. Jordan, R. L. Millis +7
As part of our ongoing Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) of the Kuiper belt, we report on the occupation of the 1:1 (Trojan), 4:3, 3:2, 7:4, 2:1, and 5:2 Neptunian mean-motion resonances…

On the Plutinos and Twotinos of the Kuiper Belt
E. I. Chiang, A. B. Jordan
We illuminate dynamical properties of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) in the 3:2 (``Plutino'') and 2:1 (``Twotino'') Neptunian resonances within the model of resonant capture and migrat…
