Production of trans-Neptunian binaries through chaos-assisted capture
Ernestine A. Lee, Sergey A. Astakhov, David Farrelly
The recent discovery of binary objects in the Kuiper-belt opens an invaluable window into past and present conditions in the trans-Neptunian part of the Solar System. For example,…
Formation of Kuiper-belt binaries through multiple chaotic scattering encounters with low-mass intruders
Sergey A. Astakhov, Ernestine A. Lee, David Farrelly
The discovery that many trans-neptunian objects exist in pairs, or binaries, is proving invaluable for shedding light on the formation, evolution and structure of the outer Solar s…
Capture and escape in the elliptic restricted three-body problem
Sergey A. Astakhov, David Farrelly
Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the plan…
