The birth environment of the solar system

FC Adams - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
This review examines our current understanding of the possible birth environments of our
Solar System. Because most stars form within groups and clusters, the question becomes …

The Sun in time: activity and environment

M Güdel - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2007 - Springer
The Sun's magnetic activity has steadily declined during its main-sequence life. While the
solar photospheric luminosity was about 30% lower 4.6 Gyr ago when the Sun arrived on …

Lead isotopic ages of chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions

Y Amelin, AN Krot, ID Hutcheon, AA Ulyanov - Science, 2002 - science.org
The lead-lead isochron age of chondrules in the CR chondrite Acfer 059 is 4564.7±0.6

Planetesimal formation by gravitational instability

AN Youdin, FH Shu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the formation of planetesimals via the gravitational instability of solids that
have settled to the midplane of a circumstellar disk. Vertical shear between the gas and a …

[BOOK][B] Meteorites: A petrologic, chemical and isotopic synthesis

R Hutchison - 2004 - books.google.com
Meteorite research is fundamental to our understanding of the origin and early history of the
Solar System. This book considers the mechanism and timing of core formation and basaltic …

Constraining the X-ray and cosmic-ray ionization chemistry of the TW Hya protoplanetary disk: evidence for a sub-interstellar cosmic-ray rate

LI Cleeves, EA Bergin, C Qi, FC Adams… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an observational and theoretical study of the primary ionizing agents (cosmic
rays (CRs) and X-rays) in the TW Hya protoplanetary disk. We use a set of resolved and …

Deuterium fractionation: the Ariadne's thread from the pre-collapse phase to meteorites and comets today

C Ceccarelli, P Caselli, D Bockelée-Morvan… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2014 - arxiv.org
The Solar System formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a condensation of matter inside a
molecular cloud. Trying to reconstruct what happened is the goal of this chapter. For that, we …

Potassium isotope anomalies in meteorites inherited from the protosolar molecular cloud

Y Ku, SB Jacobsen - Science Advances, 2020 - science.org
Potassium (K) and other moderately volatile elements are depleted in many solar system
bodies relative to CI chondrites, which closely match the composition of the Sun. These …

Short-lived nuclei in the early Solar System: Possible AGB sources

GJ Wasserburg, M Busso, R Gallino, KM Nollett - Nuclear Physics A, 2006 - Elsevier
The abundances of short-lived radionuclides in the early Solar System (ESS) are reviewed,
as well as the methodology used in determining them. These results are compared with the …

Zn and Cu isotopic variations in chondrites and iron meteorites: early solar nebula reservoirs and parent-body processes

JM Luck, DB Othman, F Albarède - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2005 - Elsevier
High-precision Zn isotopic variations are reported for carbonaceous chondrites (CC),
equilibrated (EOC) and unequilibrated (UOC) ordinary chondrites, iron meteorites from the …
