论文摘要
这份白皮书倡导在下一个十年调查中包含在冰巨型地区发现的小型，捕获的外部太阳系对象。这些物体包括天王星和海王星的不规则卫星种群。被捕获的小物体提供了有关太阳系形成的重要线索。它们具有独特的动态情况，任何太阳系形成模型都需要解释。主要问题是，很少有人发现这些对象，几乎没有关于它们的信息。本文档的目的是优先考虑这些对象的进一步发现和表征。这将需要在2023 2032十年中使用NASA和NSF设施，包括对分析的额外支持。这是为在接下来的几十年中准备潜在的未来宇宙任务的准备。
This white paper advocates for the inclusion of small, captured Outer Solar system objects, found in the Ice Giant region in the next Decadal Survey. These objects include the Trojans and Irregular satellite populations of Uranus and Neptune. The captured small bodies provide vital clues as to the formation of our Solar system. They have unique dynamical situations, which any model of Solar system formation needs to explain. The major issue is that so few of these objects have been discovered, with very little information known about them. The purpose of this document is to prioritize further discovery and characterization of these objects. This will require the use of NASA and NSF facilities over the 2023 2032 decade, including additional support for analysis. This is in preparation for potential future insitu missions in the following decades.
