Cysteine and cystine adsorption on FeS(100)

Teppei Suzuki, Taka-aki Yano, Masahiko Hara +1

Iron pyrite (FeS) is the most abundant metal sulfide on Earth. Owing to its reactivity and catalytic activity, pyrite has been studied in various research fields such as surf…

On the impact origin of Phobos and Deimos III: resulting composition from different impactors

Francesco C. Pignatale, Sébastien Charnoz, Pascal Rosenblatt +3

The origin of Phobos and Deimos in a giant impact generated disk is gaining larger attention. Although this scenario has been the subject of many studies, an evaluation of the chem…

Formation, stratification, and mixing of the cores of Earth and Venus

Seth A. Jacobson, David C. Rubie, John Hernlund +2

Earth possesses a persistent, internally-generated magnetic field, whereas no trace of a dynamo has been detected on Venus, at present or in the past, although a high surface tempe…

Dynamical Evolution of the Debris Disk after a Satellite Catastrophic Disruption around Saturn

Ryuki Hyodo, Sébastien Charnoz

The hypothesis of a recent origin of Saturn's rings and its mid-sized moons is actively debated. It was suggested that a proto-Rhea and a proto-Dione might have collided recently,…

Exoplanet Biosignatures: Observational Prospects

Yuka Fujii, Daniel Angerhausen, Russell Deitrick +9

Exoplanet hunting efforts have revealed the prevalence of exotic worlds with diverse properties, including Earth-sized bodies, which has fueled our endeavor to search for life beyo…

N-body simulations of planet formation via pebble accretion I: First Results

Soko Matsumura, Ramon Brasser, Shigeru Ida

Context. Planet formation with pebbles has been proposed to solve a couple of long-standing issues in the classical formation model. Some sophisticated simulations have been done t…

Hydrodynamic simulations of the central molecular zone with realistic Galactic potential

Jihye Shin, Sungsoo S. Kim, Junichi Baba +4

We present hydrodynamic simulations of gas clouds inflowing from the disk to a few hundred parsec region of the Milky Way. A gravitational potential is generated to include realist…

Ejection of iron-bearing giant-impact fragments and the dynamical and geochemical influence of the fragment re-accretion

Hidenori Genda, Tsuyoshi Iizuka, Takanori Sasaki +2

The Earth was born in violence. Many giant collisions of protoplanets are thought to have occurred during the terrestrial planet formation. Here we investigated the giant impact st…

Saving super-Earths: Interplay between pebble accretion and type I migration

R. Brasser, B. Bitsch, S. Matsumura

Overcoming type I migration and preventing low-mass planets from spiralling into the central star is a long-studied topic. It is well known that outward migration is possible in vi…

Mapping Exoplanets

Nicolas B. Cowan, Yuka Fujii

The varied surfaces and atmospheres of planets make them interesting places to live, explore, and study from afar. Unfortunately, the great distance to exoplanets makes it impossib…

NIR-Driven Moist Upper Atmospheres of Synchronously Rotating Temperate Terrestrial Exoplanets

Yuka Fujii, Anthony D. Del Genio, David S. Amundsen

HO is a key molecule in characterizing atmospheres of temperate terrestrial planets, and observations of transmission spectra are expected to play a primary role in detecting i…

The cool and distant formation of Mars

R. Brasser, S. J. Mojzsis, S. Matsumura +1

With approximately one ninth of Earth's mass, Mars is widely considered to be a stranded planetary embryo that never became a fully-grown planet. A currently popular planet formati…

Efficiency of metal mixing in dwarf galaxies

Yutaka Hirai, Takayuki R. Saitoh

Metal mixing plays critical roles in the enrichment of metals in galaxies. The abundance of elements such as Mg, Fe, and Ba in metal-poor stars help us understand the metal mixing…

Impact Erosion Model for Gravity-Dominated Planetesimals

H. Genda, T. Fujita, H. Kobayashi +3

Disruptive collisions have been regarded as an important process for planet formation, while non-disruptive, small-scale collisions (hereafter called erosive collisions) have been…

Decay of COSAC and Ptolemy Mass Spectra at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Harald Krüger, Fred Goesmann, Chaitanya Giri +11

The Rosetta lander Philae successfully landed on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 12 November 2014. Philae is equipped with two gas analyzers: The Cometary Samplin…

An Intermediate Level of Abstraction for Computational Systems Chemistry

Jakob L. Andersen, Christoph Flamm, Daniel Merkle +1

Computational techniques are required for narrowing down the vast space of possibilities to plausible prebiotic scenarios, since precise information on the molecular composition, t…
