Links high-perihelion scattered-disk formation to Kozai cycles operating inside Neptune mean-motion resonances.
The work addresses why some scattered-disk objects have unusually large perihelion distances that keep them detached from strong scattering by Neptune. It highlights a pathway where capture in Neptune mean-motion resonances enables Kozai (Lidov–Kozai) oscillations that trade inclination for eccentricity, lifting perihelia while preserving resonant protection. This coupling provides a dynamical explanation for producing long-lived, high-perihelion orbits from the scattered disk, informing how we interpret the origin and stability of detached trans-Neptunian populations.
Dynamical analysis of Kozai (Lidov–Kozai) behavior within mean-motion resonances in the trans-Neptunian region.
Celestial mechanics of mean-motion resonances and Lidov–Kozai secular dynamics in the outer Solar System.
A pioneering work showing the mechanism for activating Lidov–Kozai oscillations upon capture into a mean-motion resonance (in fact, in the TNO region all asteroids in the ZLKR will also be in an MMR).
