Unsurprisingly, I am commuting (London/Paris).


I've joined in February 2006 and have been contributing a fair number of diagrams and references for Transneptunians (Kuiper belt, cubewanos, plutinos, scattered objects), Centaurs, irregular satellites of outer planets as well as to a few articles on celestial mechanics (Jacobi integral, Tisserand's relation and parameter, orbital resonance) helping to understand the origin of orbits of these objects.

You might find handy my index of refs below.

Centaurs.
Plutinos.
Kuiper belt.
Scattered.
