DPS asteroid belt and hot Kuiper belt show a turnover to a shallow size distribution at sizes larger than D=300-500km, transition to a steeper slope assuming that the original planetesimals had D<100km and grew further by the process of pebble accretion, size distribution above D=100km is set by a combination of planetesimal collisions and the sweeping up of pebbles, final slopes are diagnostic of the collisionial rate and the initial total mass of the planetesimal population, size distribution for the largest asteroids and hot Kuiper belt objects are consistent with growth dominated by the accretion of pebbles, observed size distributions also places constraints on the dominant particle size, the level of midplane turbulence and nebular conditions at different orbital radii in the Solar nebula, findings hint that the asteroid belt largely formed close to the dissipation of the gas disc and that its final total mass was comparable to that of the Earth

Orbital Clustering in Trans-Neptunian Objects: We have conducted a clustering analysis of the orbits of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). We report the results of this clustering analysis and discuss their implications for the orbital alignment of the putative Planet-9 hypothesized to sculpt the orbits of the extreme TNOs.; Matthew Payne1, Matthew J. Holman1, Sam Hadden1

Dynamics of a Possible Collisional Family of Extreme TNOs: The Dark Energy Survey has been highly successful in discovering outer Solar System objects. In this presentation, we discuss the dynamics of three extreme TNOs, two of which were found by the DES. The similarity of their orbits leads us to consider the possibility that these three objects originated from a collision event. In addition, as these TNOs appear to be clustered in longitude of perihelion, we analyze their dynamics in the context of the Planet Nine hypothesis, particularly since they reside in the 150 AU < a < 250 AU transition region identified by Batygin and Brown (2016). We explore the diffusion and chaotic nature of their behavior both with and without the presence of Planet Nine, and evaluate the likelihood that these objects originated from a collision event.; Tali Khain1, Juliette Becker2, Fred C. Adams1, 2, David W. Gerdes1, 2

Debiasing the Distant Solar System Populations Using Pan-STARRS1: We discuss our on-going effort to identify Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) in the Pan-STARRS1 dataset, and to debias the size-frequency distributions (SFD) of detected TNO sub-populations in order to estimate their true population sizes. To measure our detection efficiency we used the model of Grav et al. (2011)[1], which includes Kuiper belt Objects (KBOs), Scattered Disc Objects (SDOs), and Centaurs. Our debiasing method accounts for the per-chip CCD sensitivity as well as CCD cell gaps. The search method for finding distant Solar System objects, which was developed for our initial work (Weryk et al., 2016)[2], led to discovery of 29 Centaurs, 243 KBOs and 61 SDOs from Pan-STARRS data spanning years 2010-2015. Our work is extended using more recent PS1 data.; Eva Lilly (Schunova)1, 2, Robert J. Weryk1, Serge Chastel1, Larry Denneau1, Robert Jedicke1, Richard J. Wainscoat1, Kenneth C. Chambers1

Biases in the OSSOS Detection of Large Semimajor Axis Trans-Neptunian Objects: The accumulating but small set of large semimajor axis trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) shows an apparent clustering in the orientations of their orbits. This clustering must either be representative of the intrinsic distribution of these TNOs, or else have arisen as a result of observation biases and/or statistically expected variations for such a small set of detected objects. The clustered TNOs were detected across different and independent surveys, which has led to claims that the detections are therefore free of observational bias. This apparent clustering has led to the so-called “Planet 9” hypothesis that a super-Earth currently resides in the distant solar system and causes this clustering. The Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS) is a large program that ran on the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope from 2013 to 2017, discovering more than 800 new TNOs. One of the primary design goals of OSSOS was the careful determination of observational biases that would manifest within the detected sample. We demonstrate the striking and non-intuitive biases that exist for the detection of TNOs with large semimajor axes. The eight large semimajor axis OSSOS detections are an independent data set, of comparable size to the conglomerate samples used in previous studies. We conclude that the orbital distribution of the OSSOS sample is consistent with being detected from a uniform underlying angular distribution.; Brett Gladman1, Cory Shankman2

Detection Bias for Trans-Neptunian Objects on Highly Elliptical Orbits with the Dark Energy Survey: We report the discovery of several new "extreme" trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) with semimajor axis > 150 AU discovered using the Dark Energy Survey (DES). This currently ongoing survey is entering its fifth planned year of operation on the 4m Blanco telescope in Chile and is imaging 5000 deg2 in the grizY passbands to a limiting magnitude of r~23.8. Recent studies of the significance of the observed orbital clustering of the ETNOs have led to directly oppositional conclusions (M. Brown, arXiv:1706:04175; and C. Shankman et. al., arXiv:1706:05348). We present a detailed and independent study of the effects of observational bias on the observed clustering in the argument of perihelion and the longitude of perihelion of the most distant TNOs using the dataset of DES. This study is of particular interest due to DES's location at high ecliptic inclinations in addition to the wide area of sky covered by the survey, mitigating potential bias in measurements of both the argument of perihelion and the longitude of ascending node. The significance of observational bias on the discoveries made using DES has important implications on the hypothesis of a distant ninth planet in the solar system; Stephanie Hamilton1, David W. Gerdes1

A Wide Field Search for Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects and a Super Earth in the Solar System: We are currently conducting the deepest and widest field survey to date sensitive to Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects (ETNOs), bodies that have semimajor axes greater than 150 au and perihelia higher than 35 au. Our survey is also sensitive to distant super-Earth mass planets such as that recently hypothesized to explain the orbital characteristics of ETNOs.

Our survey instruments are Subaru Telescope Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) and the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory Dark Energy Camera (DECam). HSC has a field of view of 1.75 square degrees on an 8 meter diameter telescope and DECam has a field of view of about 3 square degrees on a 4 meter diameter telescope. HSC and DECam are two of the largest light grasp survey tools in the world capable of detecting the hypothesized planet. We have surveyed a few thousand square degrees with DECam (magnitude 24) and HSC (magnitude 25).

We probe both specific locations in the sky which are likely to contain the hypothesized planet as well as nearly uniform longitude range in both hemispheres of the sky to minimize the impact of observational bias. We will discuss current survey progress, which to date has found several distant objects beyond 50 au with interesting orbital properties.

The search for Planet Nine: We provide an update on our theoretical/computational/observational search for a giant planet far beyond Neptune. Using a combination of dynamical modeling of random starting configurations for the solar system and of forward modeling of known distant KBOs we have significantly constrained the orbital elements and mass of the potential planet. We provide an update of the best-fit parameters to aid the ongoing world wide search. Using our increaingly precise knowledge of how such a planet would interact with the solar system, we are engaged in a several large surveys to detect a planet with these parameters. We will discuss results from massive archival surveys and from our large Subaru Observatory program.; Michael E. Brown1

Evaluating the Dynamical Stability of Outer Solar System Objects in the Presence of Planet Nine: We present the results of an N-body analysis of the dynamical stability of a selection of outer solar system objects in the presence of the proposed new Solar System member Planet Nine. Our simulations show that some combinations of orbital elements ($a,e$) result in Planet Nine acting as a stabilizing influence on the TNOs, which can otherwise be destabilized by interactions with Neptune. We also see that some TNOs transition between several different mean-motion resonances during their lifetimes while still retaining approximate apsidal anti-alignment with Planet Nine. This behavior suggests that remaining in one particular orbit is not a requirement for orbital stability. As one product of our simulations, we present an {\it a posteriori} probability distribution for the semi-major axis and eccentricity of the proposed Planet Nine based on TNO stability. We discuss this result in the broader context of the Planet Nine debate and the dynamical stability of the detached Kuiper Belt. We also announce the discovery of a new large semi-major axis, highly-inclined TNO, found in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. This new object’s orbit places it in the same population as was used to predict the existence of Planet Nine, and so this new object also helps constrain the orbital elements of the proposed Planet Nine.; Juliette Becker1, Fred C. Adams1, Tali Khain1, Stephanie Hamilton1, David W. Gerdes1

Extreme Resonant Dynamics, the Dynamics of Extreme TNOs in Mean Motion Resonances With Planet 9: Significant clustering among the orbits of the most distant trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) has (re)kindled interest in the hypothesis of a distant ninth planet of the solar system (Trujillo & Sheppard 2014, Batygin & Brown 2016). Recent works by Malhotra et al. (2016) and Millholland et al. (2017) find that the orbital periods of these distant TNOs could be explained as a series of small integer ratio mean motion resonances (MMRs) with the putative `Planet 9’. The large eccentricities and inclinations of these distant TNOs, along with the proposed orbit of Planet 9, make the proposed resonant motions of these objects a rich dynamical problem. We explore the dynamics of mean motion resonances at large eccentricities and inclination, focussing on implications for observing a distant resonant population of TNOs and constraining the orbital properties of Planet 9.; Sam Hadden1, Matthew J. Payne1, Matthew J. Holman1, Sarah Millholland2

Mean-Motion Resonances and the Search for Planet Nine: A key line of evidence for the existence of Planet Nine in the solar system is the physical clustering of Kuiper belt orbits with semi-major axis greater than ~250 au. It is expected that a fraction of this population is entrained in mean-motion resonances with Planet Nine, and therefore potentially holds key constraints on Planet Nine's present-day mean anomaly. In this talk, we report a suite of numerical simulations that inform the practical implications of employing resonant relationships to deduce Planet Nine's current on-sky location.; Elizabeth Bailey1, Michael Brown1, Konstantin Batygin1

Evidence for self-gravity in a massive Hills Cloud: The Hills Cloud is a hypothesized disk of icy comets, asteroids and minor planets left over from the formation of the Solar System. Spanning ~250 - 104 AU it is relatively isolated from the gravitational effects of the inner Solar System and outer Galaxy. As the least observable component of the Oort Cloud, predictions for its mass span at least two orders of magnitude, typically ranging from 0.1 - 10 Earth masses. Here we show that self-gravity acting between bodies within the Hills Cloud dramatically changes their orbital distribution (the inclination instability; Madigan & McCourt, 2016). Inclinations increase exponentially, eccentricities lower (detaching the bodies from the inner Solar System) and orbits cluster in argument of perihelion. We show how the orbits of Sedna and other high perihelion objects can be used to constrain the mass of the Hills cloud.; Alexander Zderic1, Ann-Marie Madigan1, Jacob Fleisig1

Late Heavy Bombardment

3.3. The Late Heavy Bombardment as a smoking gun for a late instability of the giant planets In Fig. 8 the dynamical instability occurs early, after only 2 My from the beginning of the simulation. However, there is a strong indication that in our solar system the onset of the dynamical instability happened much later, approximately 600 My after the disappearance of the disk of gas: this piece of evidence comes from the so-called “Late Heavy Bombardment” (LHB). The LHB is a cataclysmic period between ∼ 4.0 and ∼ 3.8 Gy ago, marked by an extraordinarily high rate of collisions on the Moon (Tera et al., 1974; Ryder, 1990, 2002; Cohen et al., 2000; Ryder et al., 2000). Some authors still contend the existence of such a spike in the history of the bombardment rate (see for instance Baldwin, 2006; Hartmann et al., 2007) and interpret the high bombardment rate ∼ 3.9 Gy ago as the tail of a slowly declining, even-more-intense bombardment occurring since the time of formation of the terrestrial planets. However, this seems to be implausible, for several reasons:

i) 600 million years of continual impacts should have left an obvious trace on the Moon. So far, no such trace has been found. The isotopic dating of the samples returned by the various Apollo and Luna missions revealed no impact melt-rock older than 3.92 Gy (Ryder, 1990; Ryder et al. 2002). The lunar meteorites confirm this age limit. The meteorites provide a particularly strong argument because they likely originated from random locations on the Moon (Cohen et al., 2000), unlike the lunar samples collected directly on its surface. A complete resetting of all ages all over the Moon is possible (Hartmann et al., 2000) but highly unlikely, considering the difficulties of completely resetting isotopic ages at the scale of a full planet (Deutsch and Scharer, 1994). The U-PB and Rb-Sr isochrones of lunar highland samples indicate metamorphic events between 3.85 and 4 Gy ago (Tera et al., 1974). There is no evidence for these isotopic systems being reset by intense collisions between 4.4 and 3.9 Gy.

ii) The old upper crustal lithologies of the Moon do not show the expected enrichment in siderophile elements (in particular the Platinum Group Elements) implied by a period of intense collisions (Ryder et al., 2000) lasting 600 My.

iii) If the elevated mass accretion documented in the period around 3.9 Gy is considered to be the tail end of an extended period of even more intense collisions, the Moon should have reached 95% of its total mass about 4.1 Gy ago instead of 4.5 Gy ago (Ryder, 2002; Koeberl, 2004).

iv) Given the fast dynamical and collisional decay of the population of planetesimals that remain in the vicinity of the Earth’s orbit at the end of the accretion process of the terrestrial planets, the formation of two huge impact structures such as the Imbrium and Orientale basins (and probably many more) on the Moon 600 My later implies an implausible initial total mass of solids in the inner solar system (Bottke et al., 2007).

v) The bombardment rate 3.8-3.9 Gy ago (as deduced from the lunar crater record) was probably not intense enough to vaporize the oceans on Earth (Abramov and Mojzsis, 2009). However, if this – 26 – bombardment rate had been the tail of a more intense bombardment, smoothly decaying over time since lunar formation, the ocean evaporation threshold should have been overcome just a few hundreds of millions of years earlier (∼ 4.2 Gy ago). This contrasts with the oxygen isotopic signature of the oldest known zircons (age: 4.4 Gy), which indicates formation temperatures compatible with the existence of liquid water (Valley et al., 2002).

vi) These same zircons retain secondary over-growths developed after primary core crystallization during their 4.4 Gy long crustal residence times. The rim over-growths can record discrete thermal events subsequent to zircon formation and provide a unique window in crustal processes before the beginning of the terrestrial rock record. In (Trail et al., 2007), all these rim over-growths have been dated to be ∼ 3.9 Gy old. No (preserved) older rim over-growths, associated to more primordial events, have been found. This suggests that the thermal events were associated to impacts, and that these impacts were concentrated in time about 3.9 Gy ago. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is strong evidence for a cataclysmic Late Heavy Bombardment event around 3.9 Gy ago. This cataclysm did not just affect the Moon, but has now been clearly established throughout the inner Solar System (Kring and Cohen, 2002). The exact duration of the cataclysm is difficult to estimate, however. Based on the cratering record of the Moon, it lasted between 20 and 200 My, depending on the mass flux estimate used in the calculation.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1106.4114

Constraints suggest that in the real Solar System the instability occurred relatively late, probably around 4.1 Gy ago (namely 450 My after gas removal). These constraints come primarily from the Moon. Dating lunar impact basins is difficult, because it is not clear which samples are related to which basin (e.g., Norman and Nemchin, 2014). Nevertheless, it is clear that several impact basins, probably a dozen, formed in the 4.1-3.8 Gy period (see Fassett and Minton, 2013, for a review). Numerical tests demonstrate that these late basins (even just Imbrium and Orientale, whose young ages are undisputed) are unlikely to have been produced by a declining population of planetesimals, left-over from the terrestrial planet accretion process, because of their short dynamical and collisional lifetimes (Bottke et al. 2007). There is also a surge in lunar rock impact ages ∼4 Gy ago, which contrasts with a paucity of impact ages between 4.4 and 4.2 Gy (Cohen et al., 2005). This is difficult to explain if the bombardment had been caused 11 by a population of left-over planetesimals slowly declining over time. The situation is very similar for the bombardment of asteroids, with meteorites showing a surge in impact ages 4.1 Gy ago and a paucity of ages between 4.2-4.4 Gy (Marchi et al., 2013). Meteorites also show many impact ages near 4.5 Gy ago, demonstrating that the apparent lack of events in the 4.2-4.4 Gy interval is not due to clock resetting processes. All these constraints strongly suggest the appearance of a new generation of projectiles in the inner solar system about 4.1 Gy ago, which argues that either a very big asteroid broke up at that time (Cuk, 2012; but such a break-up is very unlikely from collision probability arguments and we don’t see any remnant asteroid family supporting this hypothesis), or that the dynamical instability of the giant planets occurred at that time, partially destabilizing small body reservoirs that had remained stable until then. Other constraints pointing to the late instability of the giant planets come from the outer Solar System. If the planets had become unstable at the disappearance of the gas in the disk, presumably the Sun would still have been in a stellar cluster and consequently the Oort cloud would have formed more tightly bound to the Sun than it is thought to be from the orbital distribution of long period comets (Brasser et al., 2008, 2012). Also, the impact basins on Iapetus (a satellite of Saturn) have topographies that have relaxed by 25% or less, which argues that they formed in a very viscous lithosphere; according to models of the thermal evolution of the satellite, these basins can not have formed earlier than 200 My after the beginning of the Solar System (Robuchon et al., 2011)

Moreover, the escape to high-eccentricity orbits of bodies from the main belt and E-belt regions produced a spike in the impact velocities on main belt asteroids at the time of the giant planet instability. Thus, although the impact frequency on asteroids decreased with the depletion of 50% of the main belt population and 100% of the E-belt population, the production of impact melt on asteroids increased during this event because melt production is very sensitive to impact velocities (Marchi et al., 2013). For this reason, the impact ages of meteorites show a spike at 4.1 Gy like the lunar rocks, although for the latter this is due to a surge in the impact rate
