Orbit of a Possible Planet X by Amir Siraj, Christopher F. Chyba, Scott Tremaine

“…Using this expanded sample, we find statistically significant clustering at the ∼3 σ level for TNOs with semimajor axes > 170 au in the longitude of perihelion ( ϖ ), but not in inclination ( i ), argument of perihelion ( ω ), or longitude of node (Ω). Since a natural explanation for clustering in ϖ is an unseen planet, we run 300 N -body simulations with the giant planets, a disk of test particles representing Kuiper Belt objects, and an additional planet with varied initial conditions for its mass, semimajor axis, eccentricity, and inclination. …”

Analysis on the Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of Urban Expansion and the Complex Driving Mechanism: Taking the Pearl River Delta Urban Agglomeration as a Case by Luo Liu, Jianmei Liu, Zhenjie Liu, Xuliang Xu, Binwu Wang

“…Meanwhile, the decline in the proportion of outlying expansion type indicated that the urban land has gradually become more compact. (2) From 2000 to 2015, the socio-economic factors had a greater effect on UEI than natural factors. And the interaction between the pairs of factors on UEI during 2000–2008 was significantly stronger than that during 2008–2015. (3) The driving factors of the urban landscape expansion index during the period from 2008 to 2015 were far more powerful than 2000–2008. …”
