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…
Pinning and Depinning: from periodic to chaotic and random media
Noah Ankney, Montie Avery, Tali Khain +1
We study propagation of dissipative structures in inhomogeneous media with a focus on pinning and depinning transitions. We model spatial complexity in the medium as generated by d…
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…
