Europa's ocean lies atop an interior made of metal and silicates. On the basis of gravity data
from the Galileo mission, many argued that Europa's interior, like Earth, is differentiated into …

Progressive astronomical characterization of planet-forming disks and rocky exoplanets
highlight the need for increasing interdisciplinary efforts to understand the birth and life cycle …

Thermal models of asteroids generally assume that they accreted either instantaneously or
over an extended interval with a prescribed growth rate. It is conventionally assumed that the …

The Moon is thought to have formed after a planetary embryo, known as Theia, collided with
the proto-Earth 4.5 billion years ago. This so-called Giant Impact was the last major event …

An attempt has been made, probably for the first time, to understand the thermal evolution of
non-spherical asteroids in the early solar system, with the short-lived nuclide, 26 Al and 60 …

Numerical simulations are performed to understand the early thermal evolution and
planetary scale differentiation of icy bodies with the radii in the range of 100–2500 km …

Numerical models dealing with the planetary scale differentiation of Mercury are presented
with the short‐lived nuclide, 26Al, as the major heat source along with the impact‐induced …

The InSight mission's high-quality seismic data and cosmochemical models have
demonstrated that Mars has a volatile-rich core. It is proposed that Mars formed early, before …

Earth is known to share a common origin with the Enstatite chondrites (dry) due to their
similar isotopic composition. Recent findings have revealed that the Enstatite chondrites are …

Thermal evolutionary models of an evolving ensemble of planetesimals and collision
induced fragments of sizes 4–240 km, gradually accreting or fragmenting on a planetary …
