Forming the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt by Collisional Pebble Accretion, Considering the Hot
Abstract
We model of Kuiper belt object (KBO) growth by collisional pebble accretion. The model produces KBOs with high efficiency, allowing the in-situ formation of the Cold Classicals. It can also explain the orbital properties of ultra-wide KBO binaries.
