Formation and migration of trans-Neptunian objects
s of the Conference ”Celestial Mechanics 2002: Results and Prospects” (10 14 September 2002, St. Petersburg, Russia), Institute of Applied Astronomy of Russian Academy of Sciences. We support the Eneev’s idea [1] that the largest (with diameter d>100 km) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) moving now in not very eccentric orbits could be formed directly by the compression of rarefied dust condensati...
متن کاملThe Extraordinary Colors of Trans-Neptunian Objects
In 1992, Jewitt and Luu (1993) carried out a survey of 0.7 square degrees of the sky to a limiting magnitude of We present B–V and V–R colors for trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) 1994 TB and 1993 SC. We have found that these TNOs R p 25 and discovered the first TNO (1992 QB1). Thirtyhave colors almost as red as 5145 Pholus which are therefore six TNOs have been discovered as of June, 1996. The co...
متن کاملMigration of Trans-Neptunian Objects to the Terrestrial Planets
The orbital evolution of more than 22000 Jupiter-crossing objects under the gravitational influence of planets was investigated. We found that the mean collision probabilities of Jupiter-crossing objects (from initial orbits close to the orbit of a comet) with the terrestrial planets can differ by more than two orders of magnitude for different comets. For initial orbital elements close to thos...
متن کاملRotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects: the case of Haumea
We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a fraction of the known trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). It is also likely that a number of binary systems have formed from that process in the trans-Neptunian belt. We show that Haumea is, potentially, an example of an object that has suffere...
متن کاملFormation and Migration of Trans-neptunian Objects and Asteroids
The evolution of thousands of orbits of Jupiter-family comets and asteroids under the gravitational influence of planets was calculated. Comparison of the results obtained by a symplectic method with those obtained by direct integration showed that a symplectic method is not always good for investigations of the orbital evolution of such bodies. Basing on the results of orbital evolution of bod...
