Conclusion KBO’s provide a snapshot of planet formation of large (10+ km) objects Debris Disks yield a “movie” of small (dusty) objects (around stars of various ages) Together, we get a more more complete framework for understanding planet formation Rise & fall of debris disks => coagulation is the right picture, in general To nail down this framework, accurate observations of the Kuiper Belt are *required*! Department of Physics University of Utah TIARA KBO workshop Fall 2008 V. Conclusion (really) 1. Why are inclinations so high? 2. Why are cold disk objects so small & red? 3. Where did Sedna come from? 4. Was the solar nebula heavy (~200 M_Earth), unlike many analogs? 5. Why is the KB truncated (either @ 30 AU or 50 AU)? 6. Where did the gas giants come from?
