Migration of matter from the Edgeworth–Kuiper and main asteroid belts to the Earth
نویسنده
چکیده
A considerable portion of near-Earth objects could have come from the trans-Neptunian belt. Some of them have aphelia deep inside Jupiter’s orbit during more than 1 Myr.

Large Scattered Planetesimals and the Excitation of the Small Body Belts
We study the dynamical excitation that large planetesimals, scattered either by Neptune or Jupiter, could have provided to the primordial Edgeworth–Kuiper belt and the asteroid belt. Using both a refined Monte Carlo approach and direct numerical integration, we show that the Monte Carlo method is useful only to give qualitative insight into the resulting excitation, but cannot be trusted from a...

theoretical evidence for a population of bodies beyond the region of the giant planets. Edgeworth (1949) and Kuiper The Edgeworth–Kuiper Belt contains a population of objects P10 times that of the main asteroid belt, spread over a volume (1951) argued for such a population based on the composiP10 larger and with relative speeds P10 times lower. As for tion of comets and the implausibility of a ...
متن کاملDUst around NEarby Stars. The survey observational results
Context. Debris discs are a consequence of the planet formation process and constitute the fingerprints of planetesimal systems. Their solar system counterparts are the asteroid and Edgeworth-Kuiper belts. Aims. The DUNES survey aims at detecting extra-solar analogues to the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt around solar-type stars, putting in this way the solar system into context. The survey allows us to...
متن کاملComet Hazard to the Earth
Migration of trans-Neptunian objects to the Earth is considered. Due to the gravitational influence of large trans-Neptunian objects and mutual collisions, some objects can get such orbits, from which they can be moved inside the Solar System under the gravitational influence of planets. About 10-20% or even more 1-km Earth-crossers could have come from the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt and can move in...
متن کاملThe Possible Belts for Extrasolar Planetary Systems
More than 100 extrasolar planets have been discovered since 1990s. Different from the solar system, these planets’ orbital eccentricities cover a huge range from 0 to 0.7. Incidently, the first Kuiper Belt Object was discovered in 1992. Thus, an interesting and important question will be whether extrasolar planetary systems could have structures like Kuiper Belt or asteroid belt. We investigate...
