We study the effects of a Mars-like planetoid with a semimajor axis at about ∼60 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

If a planetary-mass body were present in the asteroid belt, the orbits of the terrestrial planets and those of the giant planets would be more closely coupled. A greater exchange of angular momentum could affect the stability of the terrestrial planets. Moreover, the planet in the asteroid belt coul

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

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
