The Creation of Haumea's Collisional Family (2009)
Schlichting, Hilke E., Sari, Re'em
Recently, the first collisional family was discovered in the Kuiper Belt. The parent body of this family, Haumea, is one of the largest objects in the Kuiper Belt and is orbited by two satellites. It...

The ratio of retrograde to prograde orbits: a test for Kuiper Belt binary formation theories (2008)
Schlichting, Hilke E., Sari, Re'em
With the discovery of Kuiper Belt binaries that have wide separations and roughly equal masses, new theories were proposed to explain their formation. Two formation scenarios were suggested by...

Formation of Kuiper Belt binaries (2008)
Schlichting, Hilke E., Sari, Re'em
The discovery that a substantial fraction of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) exists in binaries with wide separations and roughly equal masses has motivated a variety of new theories explaining their...
Formation of Kuiper Belt Binaries (2007)
Schlichting, Hilke E., Sari, Re'em
The discovery that a substantial fraction of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) exists in binaries with wide separations and roughly equal masses, has motivated a variety of new theories explaining their...
The Self-Similarity of Shear-dominated Viscous Stirring (2007)
Collins, Benjamin F., Schlichting, Hilke E., Sari, Re'em
We examine the growth of eccentricities of a population of particles with nearly circular orbits around a central massive body. Successive encounters between pairs of particles increase the...
The effect of Semi-Collisional Accretion on Planetary Spins (2006)
Schlichting, Hilke E., Sari, Re'em
Planetesimal accretion during planet formation is usually treated as collisionless. Such accretion from a uniform and dynamically cold disk predicts protoplanets with slow retrograde rotation....
