This paper reports on a series of laboratory impact experiments designed to provide basic data on how simulated Edgeworth-Kuiper belt objects (EKOs) fragment in an impact event. In September-October 1997 we carried out 20 low-velocity airgun shots at the Ames Vertical Gun Range into porous and homog

The Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt (EKB) objects are fossil remnants of the formation of the Solar System and they represent an important reservoir of primordial, thermally unprocessed material. The study of these objects has rapidly evolved in the last few years. New observational work allowed planetary sci

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
