Brown and a Caltech colleague, Konstantin Batygin, studied the orbits of half a dozen Kuiper Belt objects and noted that they fall into a similar pattern - a pattern whose most likely explanation is the influence of a planet about twice the size of Earth, with an elliptical orbit ranging ...
There are different types of objects in the Kuiper Belt. A Plutino is an asteroid that, for every two orbits that Neptune makes, the Plutino makes three. It does not specify any physical features on the object, just its path around the Sun, however distant. Ref: PlutinoAsteroid...
It now shares its dwarf planet designation with three of the 1,200 bodies that have been located beyond Neptune today, collectively known as “Kuiper Belt Objects〞. The Kuiper Belt is populated by icy bodies that are remnants of the solar system's formation. These are the building blocks ...
Kuiper belt objects (KBOs)—objects whose orbits have semi-major axes larger than that of Neptune—make up what is known as the Kuiper belt, which is thought to contain the remnants of the Sun's proto-planetary disk. Therefore, knowledge of the properties of the Kuiper belt will provide in...
The icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt are called "Kuiper Belt Objects" (I know, creative), or KBOs for short. Pluto is the best-known KBO, and one of the reasons it was demoted from being a planet was that thousands of other KBOs have been discovered orbiting in the same region. Only ...
Subject headings: Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud - minor planets, solar system: general– 3 – 1. Introduction The trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) have semi-major axes larger than that of Neptune (=-=Jewitt and Luu 2000-=-) and are thought to be the products of arrested growth in the tenuous ...
As they write in the Astronomical journal, they have analyzed the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects and found six that behave in a peculiar way. As the diagram shows, the points of closest approach of these objects to the sun, known as their perihelia(近日点), almost coincide. Moreover, thes...
摘要原文 The Kuiper belt includes tens of thousands of large bodies and millions of smaller objects. The main part of the belt objects is located in the annular zone between 39.4 au and 47.8 au from the Sun, the boundaries correspond to the average distances for orbital resonances 3:2 and ...
及其星系家族 同时也产生了两颗卫星 We're searching for them now... 我们现在在搜寻它们 and something like ten percentof Kuiper Belt objects have moons. 就是柯伊伯带里拥有卫星的10%的物体 But all of these objectsthat we've looked at... 然而我们见到过的所有这些物体 only a few havemore ...
