Erratum: "Coagulation Calculations of Icy Planet Formation at 15-150 AU: A Correlation between the Maximum Radius and the Slope of the Size Distribution for Trans-Neptunian Objects" (2012, AJ, 143, 63)
Abstract
We correct errors in our comparisons of model results with observations and fix typographical errors in mathematical expressions for the accretion time. Reanalyzing the observations leads to new values for the target slope of the cumulative size distribution for large objects as a function of the slope of the power-law relation between albedo and radius. Despite these changes, the analysis still strongly prefers models where trans-Neptunian objects grow from an initial population of small (1-10 km) planetesimals.
