Collision probabilities in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt

Event End:

Event Information:

The Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB) is a torus-shaped agglomeration of small icy bodies, just beyond the orbit of Neptune. Due to their distant location, these objects are believed to be relatively pristine and may hold the key to understanding the formation of the Solar System. Until recently, EKB objects (EKBOs) were poorly characterized, primarily due to their large heliocentric distances.
