Long-Term Stability of Planets in Binary Systems
Matthew J. Holman,Paul Wiegert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a range of values of the binary eccentricity and mass ratio is studied, and both the case of planets orbiting close to one of the stars, and that of planets outside the binary orbiting the systems center of mass, are examined.

The trajectory, structure and origin of the Chelyabinsk asteroidal impactor
Jiří Borovička,Pavel Spurný,Peter Brown,Paul Wiegert,Pavel Kalenda,David Clark,Lukáš Shrbený +6 more
TL;DR: An analysis of selected video records of the Chelyabinsk superbolide of 15 February 2013 found that its orbit was similar to the orbit of the two-kilometre-diameter asteroid 86039, to a degree of statistical significance sufficient to suggest that the two were once part of the same object.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earth’s Trojan asteroid
TL;DR: It is established that 2010 TK7 is a Trojan companion of Earth, librating around the leading Lagrange triangular point, L4, whose orbit is stable over at least ten thousand years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Long-Period Comets
Paul Wiegert,Scott Tremaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the evolution of long-period comets by numerical integration of their orbits, a more realistic dynamical approach than the Monte Carlo and analytic methods previously used to study this problem.
