A statistical review of light curves and the prevalence of contact binaries in the Kuiper Belt
MR Showalter, SD Benecchi, MW Buie, WM Grundy… - Icarus, 2021 - Elsevier
We investigate what can be learned about a population of distant Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs)
by studying the statistical properties of their light curves. Whereas others have successfully …

[HTML][HTML] Is There an Earth-like Planet in the Distant Kuiper Belt?
PS Lykawka, T Ito - The Astronomical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The orbits of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) can indicate the existence of an undiscovered
planet in the outer solar system. Here we used N-body computer simulations to investigate …
