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

It is not known if Pluto has other satellites besides its massive partner Charon. In the past, searches for additional satellites in the Pluto-Charon system have extended from the solar-tidal stability boundary ( \(\approx 90\) arcsec from Pluto) inward to about 1 arcsec from Pluto: Here we further

Impact cratering is arguably the most ubiquitous geological process in the Solar System. It has played an important role in EarthҀ™s history, shaping the geological landscape, affecting the evolution of life, and generating economic resources. However, it was only in the latter half of the 20th cen
