A Crater Chronology for the Jupiter's Asteroids
S. Marchi, D. Nesvorný, D. Vokrouhlický +2
We present a new crater chronology for Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. This tool can be used to interpret the collisional history of the bodies observed by NASA's Lucy mission. The Luc…
A race against the clock: Constraining the timing of cometary bombardment relative to Earth's growth
Sarah Joiret, Sean N. Raymond, Guillaume Avice +3
Comets are considered a potential source of inner solar system volatiles, but the timing of this delivery relative to that of Earth's accretion is still poorly understood. Measurem…
The Properties and Origins of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's Large Mounds
S. A. Stern, O. L. White, Wm. Grundy +10
We report on a study of the mounds that dominate the appearance of Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) (486958) Arrokoth's larger lobe, named Wenu. We compare the geological context of these…
Radial Distribution of Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Points to Sun's Formation in a Stellar Cluster
David Nesvorny, Pedro Bernardinelli, David Vokrouhlicky +1
The Scattered Disk Objects (SDOs) are a population of trans-Neptunian bodies with semimajor axes au and perihelion distances au. The detached S…
Impact Rates in the Outer Solar System
David Nesvorny, Luke Dones, Mario De Pra +2
Previous studies of cometary impacts in the outer Solar System used the spatial distribution of ecliptic comets (ECs) from dynamical models that assumed ECs began on low-inclinatio…
The Collisional Evolution of the Primordial Kuiper Belt, Its Destabilized Population, and the Trojan Asteroids
William Bottke, David Vokrouhlicky, Raphael Marshall +6
The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the gi…
