The Resonance Hopping Effect in the Neptune-Planet Nine System
Tali Khain, Juliette Becker, Fred C. Adams
The observed physical clustering of the orbits of small bodies in the distant Kuiper Belt (TNOs) has recently prompted the prediction of an additional planet in the outer solar sys…
Dynamical Classification of Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the Dark Energy Survey
T. Khain, J. C. Becker, Hsing Wen Lin +52
The outer Solar System contains a large number of small bodies (known as trans-Neptunian objects or TNOs) that exhibit diverse types of dynamical behavior. The classification of bo…
Trans-Neptunian objects found in the first four years of the Dark Energy Survey
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Gary M. Bernstein, Masao Sako +61
We present a catalog of 316 trans-Neptunian bodies detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). These objects include 245 discoveries by DES (139 not previously published) detected in…
Dynamical Analysis of Three Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects with Similar Orbits
T. Khain, J. C. Becker, F. C. Adams +62
This paper reports the discovery and orbital characterization of two extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), 2016 QV and 2016 QU, which have orbits that appear simil…
Evidence for Color Dichotomy in the Primordial Neptunian Trojan Population
Hsing Wen Lin, David W. Gerdes, Stephanie J. Hamilton +45
In the current model of early Solar System evolution, the stable members of the Jovian and Neptunian Trojan populations were captured into resonance from the leftover reservoir of…
A Compact Multi-Planet System With A Significantly Misaligned Ultra Short Period Planet
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Juliette C. Becker, Jason D. Eastman +20
We report the discovery of a compact multi-planet system orbiting the relatively nearby (78pc) and bright () K-star, K2-266 (EPIC248435473). We identify up to six possible p…
Discovery and Dynamical Analysis of an Extreme Trans-Neptunian Object with a High Orbital Inclination
J. C. Becker, T. Khain, S. J. Hamilton +62
We report the discovery and dynamical analysis of 2015 BP, an extreme Trans-Neptunian Object detected detected by the Dark Energy Survey at a heliocentric distance of 55 AU…
The Generation of the Distant Kuiper Belt by Planet Nine from an Initially Broad Perihelion Distribution
Tali Khain, Konstantin Batygin, Michael E. Brown
The observation that the orbits of long-period Kuiper Belt objects are anomalously clustered in physical space has recently prompted the Planet Nine hypothesis - the proposed exist…
Exterior Companions to Hot Jupiters Orbiting Cool Stars are Coplanar
Juliette C. Becker, Andrew Vanderburg, Fred C. Adams +2
The existence of hot Jupiters has challenged theories of planetary formation since the first extrasolar planets were detected. Giant planets are generally believed to form far from…
Evaluating the Dynamical Stability of Outer Solar System Objects in the Presence of Planet Nine
Juliette Becker, Fred Adams, Tali Khain +2
We evaluate the dynamical stability of a selection of outer solar system objects in the presence of the proposed new Solar System member Planet Nine. We use a Monte Carlo suite of…
