The great isotopic dichotomy of the early Solar System
The isotopic composition of meteorites and terrestrial planets holds important clues about
the earliest history of the Solar System and the processes of planet formation. Recent work …

Dynamical evolution of the early solar system
D Nesvorný - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Several properties of the Solar System, including the wide radial spacing of the giant
planets, can be explained if planets radially migrated by exchanging orbital energy and …

Age of Jupiter inferred from the distinct genetics and formation times of meteorites
The age of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, is still unknown. Gas-giant planet
formation likely involved the growth of large solid cores, followed by the accumulation of gas …

Earth's water may have been inherited from material similar to enstatite chondrite meteorites
The origin of Earth's water remains unknown. Enstatite chondrite (EC) meteorites have
similar isotopic composition to terrestrial rocks and thus may be representative of the …

Extreme Water Loss and Abiotic O2 Buildup on Planets Throughout the Habitable Zones of M Dwarfs
R Luger, R Barnes - Astrobiology, 2015 - liebertpub.com
We show that terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of M dwarfs older than∼ 1 Gyr could

Growth of asteroids, planetary embryos, and Kuiper belt objects by chondrule accretion
Chondrules are millimeter-sized spherules that dominate primitive meteorites (chondrites)
originating from the asteroid belt. The incorporation of chondrules into asteroidal bodies …

A low mass for Mars from Jupiter's early gas-driven migration
Jupiter and Saturn formed in a few million years (ref.) from a gas-dominated protoplanetary
disk, and were susceptible to gas-driven migration of their orbits on timescales of only∼ …

Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration-How the radial pebble flux determines a terrestrial-planet or super-Earth growth mode
Super-Earths–planets with sizes between the Earth and Neptune–are found in tighter orbits
than that of the Earth around more than one third of main sequence stars. It has been …

The growth of planets by pebble accretion in evolving protoplanetary discs
The formation of planets depends on the underlying protoplanetary disc structure, which in
turn influences both the accretion and migration rates of embedded planets. The disc itself …
