On the Dynamics of Resonant Kuiper Belt Objects

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We propose a new mechanism of drag-induced resonant capture, which can explain the resonant Kuiper Belt Objects in a natural way. A review and comparison with the traditional mechanism of sweeping capture by the migrating Neptune will be given.
