Kuiper belt structure within the Thermodynamic Model A hypothesis of solar pressure and five separate directional pressures during an assumed solar circuit around Gaia BH1
Abstract
I propose that the motions and spatial distribution of Kuiper belt bodies can be investigated as responses to outward solar pressure and five separate incoming Thermon-pressure channels associated with Gaia BH1, Gaia BH2, Gaia BH3, A0620-00 and OGLE-2011-BLG-0462. I retain predominantly directional propagation with limited angular spreading and the assumed solar circuit around Gaia BH1 from the heliopause study [M10]. I extend the comet-style directional calculation to radial, tangential and vertical components throughout the belt. The resulting geometry identifies candidate perturbations, but does not by itself provide a force that confines bodies around the Sun. In a heliocentric calculation the Sun’s own acceleration must also be subtracted. I formulate a conditional momentum-transfer law, derive the requirements for circular motion and local stability, and specify tests of orbital thickness, directional asymmetry and size-dependent response. The necessary spatial coupling and absolute pressure amplitudes remain to be measured or derived. This paper presents a testable hypothesis, not a fitted explanation of the observed belt.
