Dynamical evolution of the early solar system
D Nesvorný - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Several properties of the Solar System, including the wide radial spacing of the giant
planets, can be explained if planets radially migrated by exchanging orbital energy and …

Origin and evolution of the cometary reservoirs
L Dones, R Brasser, N Kaib, H Rickman - Space Science Reviews, 2015 - Springer
Comets have three known reservoirs: the roughly spherical Oort Cloud (for long-period
comets), the flattened Kuiper Belt (for ecliptic comets), and, surprisingly, the asteroid belt (for …

Constraining the giant planets' initial configuration from their evolution: Implications for the timing of the planetary instability
Recent works on planetary migration show that the orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt can be
very well reproduced if, before the onset of planetary instability, Neptune underwent a long …

Born eccentric: Constraints on Jupiter and Saturn's pre-instability orbits
An episode of dynamical instability is thought to have sculpted the orbital structure of the
outer solar system. When modeling this instability, a key constraint comes from Jupiter's fifth …
