We provide a nonspecialist overview of the current state of understanding of the structure
and origin of our Solar System's transneptunian region (often called the Kuiper Belt) …

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 …

Major advances in our understanding of the universe have historically arisen from dramatic
improvements in our ability to “see.” We have developed progressively larger telescopes …

We explore the origin and orbital evolution of the Kuiper belt in the framework of a recent
model of the dynamical evolution of the giant planets, sometimes known as the Nice model …

We report the orbital distribution of the trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered during
the Canada–France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), whose discovery phase ran from early …

Abstract The Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS), a wide-field imaging program in
2013–2017 with the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope, surveyed 155 deg 2 of sky to …

We define a nomenclature for the dynamical classification of objects in the outer solar
system, mostly targeted at the Kuiper belt. We classify all 584 reasonable-quality orbits, as of …

We present a search for outer solar system objects in the 6 yr of data from the Dark Energy
Survey (DES). The DES covered a contiguous 5000 deg 2 of the southern sky with≈ 80,000 …

We use N-body simulations to examine the consequences of Neptune's outward migration
into the Kuiper Belt, with the simulated end states being compared rigorously and …
