The Kuiper Belt zone is unique insofar as the major heat sources of objects a few tens of kilometers in size-solar radiation on the one hand and radioactive decay on the other-have comparable power. This leads to unique evolutionary patterns, with heat waves propagating inward from the irradiated su
We study the effects of a Mars-like planetoid with a semimajor axis at about โผ60 AU orbiting embedded in the primordial Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB). The origin of such an object can be explained in the framework of our current understanding of the origin of the outer Solar System, and a scenario for
