[edit] Summary

Illustration of the power law for the distribution of sizes in the Kuiper Belt. Plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.

The curve represents the number of objects as a function of their diameter.

  • Vertical axis: number of objects
  • Horizontal axis: diameter

As illustration, for an object with diameter 4D, there should be 8 objects with diameter 2D and 64 objects with diameter D.

Neglecting smaller order terms, N ~ D - 3
