Modeling indicates that heating from long-lived radiogenic nuclides may provide enough warmth to sustain liquid water in large trans-Neptunian objects if antifreezing species such as ammonia are present.
“Modeling of large trans-neptunian objects, bodies that lie beyond the orbit of Neptune, shows that heating from the long-lived radiogenic nuclides may provide enough warmth to sustain liquid water if there are antifreezing species such as ammonia present (Hussmann et al., 2006; Desch et al., 2009).”

Trans-Neptunian objects may provide a significant fraction of the Solar System's liquid water reservoir, perhaps collectively as much as on Earth.
“Given the overwhelming population of the Kuiper Belt (106 objects greater than a few tens of kilometers; Morbidelli and Levison, 2007) and Oort Cloud (∼4 × 1011 objects with a radius larger than 1 km; Levison et al., 2010), trans-neptunian objects may provide a significant fraction of the Solar System's liquid water reservoir, perhaps collectively even as much as on Earth (Desch et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
