    Resonant Kuiper belt objects: a review by Renu Malhotra

    Published 2019-11-01
    “…Abstract Our understanding of the history of the solar system has undergone a revolution in recent years, owing to new theoretical insights into the origin of Pluto and the discovery of the Kuiper belt and its rich dynamical structure. The emerging picture of dramatic orbital migration of the planets driven by interaction with the primordial Kuiper belt is thought to have produced the final solar system architecture that we live in today. …”

    Unbiased Inclination Distributions for Objects in the Kuiper Belt by Gulbis, Amanda A. S., Elliot, James L., Adams, Elisabeth Rose, Benecchi, Susan D., Buie, Marc W., Trilling, David E., Wasserman, L. H.

    Published 2012
    “…Using data from the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES), we investigate the inclination distributions of objects in the Kuiper Belt. We present a derivation for observational bias removal and use this procedure to generate unbiased inclination distributions for Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) of different DES dynamical classes, with respect to the Kuiper Belt plane. …”

    Endogenically sourced volatiles on Charon and other Kuiper belt objects by Stephanie M. Menten, Michael M. Sori, Ali M. Bramson

    Published 2022-08-01
    “…Irradiated methane products are found on other Kuiper belt objects, so endogenically sourced volatiles could be important across the Kuiper belt.…”

    THE SURFACE COMPOSITION OF LARGE KUIPER BELT OBJECT 2007 OR10 by Brown, M. E., Burgasser, Adam J., Fraser, W. C.

    Published 2015
    “…While most objects in the Kuiper belt with water ice absorption this prominent have the optically neutral colors of water ice, 2007 OR10 is among the reddest Kuiper belt objects known. …”

    De-biased populations of Kuiper Belt objects from the Deep Ecliptic Survey by Adams, Elisabeth Rose, Benecchi, Susan D., Buie, Marc W., Trilling, D. E., Wasserman, L. H., Gulbis, Amanda A. S., Elliot, James L.

    Published 2015
    “…The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) was a survey project that discovered hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects from 1998 to 2005. Extensive follow-up observations of these bodies has yielded 304 objects with well-determined orbits and dynamical classifications into one of several categories: Classical, Scattered, Centaur, or 16 mean-motion resonances with Neptune. …”
