Scientific paper

The recent discovery of several scattering disk (SD) or detached transneptunian objects [1,3,4,5] has revealed a gap in our understanding of the formation and evolution of the outer Solar System. These TNOs have orbital parameters placing them in parts of phase space that currently have no clearly-accepted cosmogonic explanation. They have either very high inclination i or very large pericentres q. In attempts to address some of these issues, Brasser et al. [2], and Kaib et al. [6] have computed numerical simulations of SS evolution to study the creation of the Oort Cloud, the end result of which is an orbital element distribution for the SD region. The models require validation through comparison with observations.
