It is reported that a three-body gravitational encounter between a binary system (of ∼103-kilometre-sized bodies) and Neptune is a far more likely explanation for Triton's capture.

Solar system: Interplanetary kidnap

Triton, Neptune's largest moon, was probably part of a two-body object similar to the Pluto–Charon system, which might have been ripped apart when it strayed too close to Neptune and was torn apart; the companion escaped, but left Triton behind.

The Origin of Neptune’s Unusual Satellites from a Planetary Encounter

The Neptunian satellite system is unusual, comprising Triton, a large (∼2700 km) moon on a close-in, circular, yet retrograde orbit, flanked by Nereid, the largest irregular satellite (∼300 km) on a…

The Capture of Satellites by Binary-Planet Encounters : A Computational Analysis of the Cases of Triton , Phobos and Deimos

Conversely to regular satellites, irregular ones have been widely accepted to be foreign bodies originated elsewhere from their present location, that early in the Solar System history were somehow…

Triton's Evolution with a Primordial Neptunian Satellite System

Triton's interaction with a prior satellite system may offer a mechanism to decrease its high initial semimajor axis fast enough to preserve small irregular satellites (Nereid-like), that might otherwise be lost during a prolonged Triton circularization via tides alone.

On the Origin of the Pluto System

For six decades following its discovery, Pluto was the only known Sun-orbiting world in the dynamical vicinity of Neptune. An early origin concept postulated that Neptune originally had two large…

Orbital and Structural Evolution of Triton

Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, is one of the coldest bodies in our universe with a surface temperature of 38 K. Even at this low temperature, Triton may have sustained an ammonia-rich subsurface…

0 Secular Evolution of Satellites by Tidal Effect

Both the Earth’s Moon and Pluto’s moon, Charon, have an important fraction of the mass of their systems, and therefore they could be classified as double-planets rather than as satellites. The…

Capture of satellites during planetary encounters

Single-binary scattering may lead to an exchange where the single object captures a component of the binary, forming a new binary. This has been well studied in encounters between a star--planet pair…

Neptune's Story

It is conjectured that Triton was captured from a heliocentric orbit as the result of a collision with what was then one of Neptune's regular satellites, thus accounting for that satellite's highly eccentric and inclined orbit.

Constraints on the Orbital Evolution of Triton

We present simulations of Triton's postcapture orbit that confirm the importance of Kozai-type oscillations in its orbital elements. In the context of the tidal orbital evolution model, these…

Formation of Kuiper-belt binaries by dynamical friction and three-body encounters

It is shown that a transient binary forms when two large bodies penetrate one another's Hill sphere (the region where their mutual forces are larger than the tidal force of the Sun) and the loss of energy needed to stabilize the binary orbit can occur through dynamical friction from surrounding small bodies, or through the gravitational scattering of a third large body.

Orbital Behavior of Captured Satellites: The Effect of Solar Gravity on Triton's Post-Capture Orbit

Abstract The effects of solar perturbations on the postcapture orbital behavior of satellites are investigated in the context of the restricted, circular three-body problem as applied to Neptune,…

Gas Drag and the Orbital Evolution of a Captured Triton

Abstract Gas drag is a possible mechanism for capturing Triton. We examine the energetics of gas drag capture, compare the role of gas drag in subsequent orbital evolution with that of tides, and…

On the origin of Triton and Pluto

Lyttleton hypothesized long ago that Triton and Pluto originated as adjacent prograde satellites of Neptune1. With the presently accepted masses of Triton and Pluto–Charon2,3, however, the momentum…

The formation of Kuiper-belt binaries through exchange reactions

The only required assumption is that the TNOs were initially formed through gravitational instabilities in the protoplanetary dust disk, and the basis of the mechanism is an exchange reaction in which a binary whose primary component is much more massive than the secondary interacts with a third body, whose mass is comparable to that of the primary.

Formation of the Neptune system

Neptune is the outermost of the four giant planets in our solar system. The region in which Neptune orbits has longer dynamical time scales and probably had a lower surface mass density of solids…

The first reconnaissance of all the major planets of the Solar System culminated in the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune in August 1989. Neptune itself was revealed as a planet with gigantic active…
