Randomness and retention: using weak mean motion resonances to constrain Neptune's late-stage migration

A Hermosillo Ruiz, HCP Lau… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Planet–planetesimal interactions cause a planet to migrate, manifesting as a random walk in
semimajor axis. In models for Neptune's migration involving a gravitational upheaval, this …

Gravitational disturbance on asteroidal ring systems by close encounter with a small object

R Ikeya, N Hirata - Icarus, 2024 - Elsevier
To date, rings are found around a Centaur (10199) Chariklo, trans-Neptunian objects
(TNOs)(136108) Haumea, and (50000) Quaoar. These discoveries suggest that asteroidal …
