On the Estimation of Circumbinary Orbital Properties
Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon
We describe a fast, approximate method to characterize the orbits of satellites around a central binary in numerical simulations. A goal is to distinguish the free eccentricity --…

Craters on Charon: Impactors From a Collisional Cascade Among Trans-Neptunian Objects
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley
We consider whether equilibrium size distributions from collisional cascades match the frequency of impactors derived from New Horizons crater counts on Charon (Singer et al 2019).…

A Pluto-Charon Concerto: An Impact on Charon as the Origin of the Small Satellites
Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon
We consider a scenario where the small satellites of Pluto and Charon grew within a disk of debris from an impact between Charon and a trans-Neptunian Object (TNO). After Charon's…
