Origin of the structure of the Kuiper belt during a dynamical instability in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune (2007, background): “Given that the observational biases are roughly a function of q, the apparent relative under-density of objects at low eccentricity in the region immediately interior to Neptune’s 1:2 MMR is likely to be a real feature of the Kuiper belt distribution. iv) The outer edge of the classical belt (Fig.”
THE CANADA–FRANCE ECLIPTIC PLANE SURVEY—L3 DATA RELEASE: THE ORBITAL STRUCTURE OF THE KUIPER BELT (2009, methodology): “While those slopes are consistent with274 Elliot et al. (2005) they are shallower than Bernstein et al. (2004) and our own estimates.”
LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products (2008, background): “…function of color and size; the search for dynamical families (Marcus et al. 2011); studies of shapes and structure using light curves (Duncan & Levison 1995; Trujillo, Jewitt & Luu 2001; Gladman et al. 2001; Bernstein et al. 2004; Elliot et al. 2005; Jones et al. 2006; Doressoundiram et al. 2007).”
Neptune’s Migration into a Stirred-Up Kuiper Belt: A Detailed Comparison of Simulations to Observations (2005, result): “The shallow size distribution that is inferred here for the 3:2 population is also consistent with the logarithmic slope of α ≃ 0.56 that Elliot et al. (2005) recently reported for the luminosity function of their ‘resonant’ population that is dominated by 3:2 KBOs; the size distribution inferred…”
