AbstractWe study the transfer process from the scattered disk (SD) to the high-perihelion scattered disk (HPSD) (defined as the population with perihelion distances q > 40 AU and semimajor axes a>50 AU) by means of two different models. One model (Model 1) assumes that SD objects (SDOs) were formed closer to the Sun and driven outwards by resonant coupling with the accreting Neptune during the stage of outward migration (Gomes 2003b, Earth, Moon, Planets 92, 29–42.). The other model (Model 2… Expand

The occurrence of high-order resonances and Kozai mechanism in the scattered disk
Abstract By means of numerical methods we explore the relevance of the high-order exterior mean motion resonances (MMR) with Neptune that a scattered disk object (SDO) can experience in its diffusion… Expand
Dynamical formation of detached trans-Neptunian objects close to the 2:5 and 1:3 mean motion resonances with Neptune
Aims. It is widely accepted that the past dynamical history of the solar system included a scattering of planetesimals from a primordial disk by the major planets. The primordial scattered population… Expand
The Scattered Disk: Origins, Dynamics, and End States
From a review of the methods that have been used so far, we estimate the present mass of the scattered disk to be in the range 0.01 to 0.1 M . We review the dynamics of the scattered disk, paying… Expand
Dynamical Implantation of Objects in the Kuiper Belt
Several models have been suggested in the past to describe the dynamical formation of hot Kuiper Belt objects (hereafter Hot Classicals or HCs for short). Here, we discuss a dynamical mechanism that… Expand
The Rarity of Very Red Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Scattered Disk
We investigate the origins of the photometrically very red (VR) and less red (LR) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). We first reanalyze the data set of Marsset et al. and find that in addition to the… Expand
Beyond the Kuiper Belt Edge: New High Perihelion Trans-Neptunian Objects with Moderate Semimajor Axes and Eccentricities
We have been conducting a survey for distant solar system objects beyond the Kuiper Belt edge (~50 AU) with new wide-field cameras on the Subaru 8 meter and CTIO 4 meter telescopes. We are interested… Expand
Details of Resonant Structures Within a Nice Model Kuiper Belt: Predictions for High-Perihelion TNO Detections
We analyze a detailed Nice model simulation of Kuiper Belt emplacement from Brasser & Morbidelli (2013), where Neptune undergoes a high eccentricity phase and migrates outward. In this work, which… Expand
Origin of scattered disk resonant TNOs: Evidence for an ancient excited Kuiper belt of 50 AU radius
Abstract Resonance occupation of trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) in the scattered disk ( > 48 AU ) was investigated by integrating the orbits of 85 observed members for 4 Gyr. Twenty seven TNOs were… Expand
Discovery of a New Retrograde Trans-Neptunian Object: Hint of a Common Orbital Plane for Low Semimajor Axis, High-inclination TNOs and Centaurs
Although the majority of Centaurs are thought to have originated in the scattered disk, with the high-inclination members coming from the Oort cloud, the origin of the high-inclination component of… Expand
CONSEQUENCES of A DISTANT MASSIVE PLANET on the LARGE SEMIMAJOR AXIS TRANS-NEPTUNIAN OBJECTS
We explore the distant giant planet hypothesis by integrating the large semi-major axis, large pericenter Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) in the presence of the giant planets and an external perturber… Expand
