Nominal models of the Outer Solar System populations derived from OSSOS++ sample
OSSOS Models provide calibrated sets of orbits and absolute magnitudes for the various populations of the small bodies of the Outer Solar System: Classical, Detached, Distant resonances, Inner, Plutinos, Scattering, Twotinos. These models are in agreement with the detections in the OSSOS++ sample (Bannister et al (2018) ApJS, 236, 18).

This package of provides programmes and data aiming at generating absolutely calibrated models of the various component of the small bodies of the Outer Solar System.
These models can serve as comparison for the outcome of Solar System formation simulations, or as input for running a Survey Simulator, such as the OSSOS Survey Simulator.
