the first discovered on an unstable planet-crossing orbit that lies entirely in the outer Solar System. Since that time, We present numerical orbital integrations of thousands of massless particles as they evolve from Neptune-encountering a total of six objects on similar giant plant-crossing orbit

By examining the absolute magnitude (H) distributions (hereafter HD) of the cold and hot populations in the Kuiper belt and of the Trojans of Jupiter, we find evidence that the Trojans have been captured from the outer part of the primordial trans-neptunian planetesimal disk. We develop a sketch mod

We present results from our model of collision rates in the presentday Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt and Centaur region. We have updated previous results to allow for new estimates of the total disk population in order to examine surface activation and modification time scales due to cratering impacts. We e
We study the Jupiter family comet (JFC) population assumed to come from the Scattered Disk and transferred to the Jupiter's zone through gravitational interactions with the Jovian planets. We shall define as JFCs those with orbital periods P < 20 yr and Tisserand parameters in the range 2 < T K 3:1,
