The planet nine hypothesis
Over the course of the past two decades, observational surveys have unveiled the intricate
orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt, a field of icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune. In …

Obliquities of exoplanet host stars-Nineteen new and updated measurements, and trends in the sample of 205 measurements
Measurements of the obliquities in exoplanet systems have revealed some remarkable
architectures, some of which are very different from the Solar System. Nearly 200 obliquity …

Revisiting the dynamics of two-body problem in the framework of the continued fraction potential
In this analytical study, a novel solving method for determining the precise coordinates of a
mass point in orbit around a significantly more massive primary body, operating within the …

Excitation of a primordial cold asteroid belt as an outcome of planetary instability
The main asteroid belt (MB) is low in mass but dynamically excited. Here we propose a new
mechanism to excite the MB during the giant planet (the" Nice model") instability, which is …

The curiously warped mean plane of the Kuiper belt
K Volk, R Malhotra - The Astronomical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We measured the mean plane of the Kuiper Belt as a function of semimajor axis. For the
classical Kuiper Belt as a whole (the nonresonant objects in the semimajor axis range 42 …

Solar obliquity induced by planet nine
The six-degree obliquity of the Sun suggests that either an asymmetry was present in the
solar system's formation environment, or an external torque has misaligned the angular …
