Can Neptune’s Distant Mean Motion Resonances Constrain Undiscovered Planets in the Solar System? Lessons from a Case Study of the 9:1 Resonance

Can Neptune’s Distant Mean Motion Resonances Constrain Undiscovered Planets in the Solar System? Lessons from a Case Study of the 9:1 Resonance

Recent observational surveys of the outer solar system provide evidence that Neptune's distant n :1 mean motion resonances may harbor relatively large reservoirs of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). In particular, the discovery of two securely classified 9:1 resonators, 2015 KE _172 and 2007 TC _...
