The origin of comets and the ghostly Planet IX

Alessandro Morbidelli

Professor at the Collège de France

This lecture traces the origins of different comet populations and the processes that send them into the inner Solar System. It compares the scattered Kuiper-belt reservoir with the distant Oort cloud. It also examines the evidence and debate surrounding a possible additional planet beyond Neptune.
