The fate of liquids trapped during the Earth's inner core growth

Marine Lasbleis, Mathilde Kervazo, Gael Choblet

The growth history of the inner core is inherently linked to the thermal history of the Earth. The crystallization of the inner core may have been delayed by supercooling, and went…

The formation of the Martian moons

Pascal Rosenblatt, Ryuki Hyodo, Francesco C. Pignatale +5

Almost all the planets of our solar system have moons. Each planetary system has however unique characteristics. The Martian system has not one single big moon like the Earth, not…

Diverse outcomes of planet formation and composition around low-mass stars and brown dwarfs

Y. Miguel, A. Cridland, C. W. Ormel +2

The detection of Earth-size exoplanets around low-mass stars -- in stars such as Proxima Centauri and TRAPPIST-1 -- provide an exceptional chance to improve our understanding of th…

When did Life Likely Emerge on Earth in an RNA-First Process?

Steven A. Benner, Elizabeth A. Bell, Elisa Biondi +7

The widespread presence of ribonucleic acid (RNA) catalysts and cofactors in Earth's biosphere today suggests that RNA was the first biopolymer to support Darwinian evolution. Howe…

Inner Edge of Habitable Zones for Earth-sized Planets with Various Surface Water Distributions

Takanori Kodama, Hidenori Genda, Ryouta O'ishi +2

When planets receive insolation above a certain critical value called the runaway threshold, liquid surface water vaporizes completely, which forms the inner edge of the habitable…

Deep learning on butterfly phenotypes tests evolution's oldest mathematical model

Jennifer F. Hoyal Cuthill, Nicholas Guttenberg, Sophie Ledger +2

Traditional anatomical analyses captured only a fraction of real phenomic information. Here, we apply deep learning to quantify total phenotypic similarity across 2468 butterfly ph…

Photophoresis in the circumjovian disk and its impact on the orbital configuration of the Galilean satellites

Sota Arakawa, Yuhito Shibaike

Jupiter has four large regular satellites called the Galilean satellites: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The inner three of the Galilean satellites orbit in a 4:2:1 mean motio…

Climate simulations of early Mars with estimated precipitation, runoff, and erosion rates

Ramses M. Ramirez, Robert A. Craddock, Tomohiro Usui

The debate over the early Martian climate is among the most intriguing in planetary science. Although the geologic evidence generally supports a warmer and wetter climate, climate…

Spinning up planetary bodies by pebble accretion

R. G. Visser, C. W. Ormel, C. Dominik +1

Most major planetary bodies in the solar system rotate in the same direction as their orbital motion: their spin is prograde. Theoretical studies to explain the direction as well a…

Formation of rocky and icy planetesimals inside and outside the snow line: Effects of diffusion, sublimation and back-reaction

Ryuki Hyodo, Shigeru Ida, Sébastien Charnoz

It is important to clarify where and when rocky and icy planetesimals are formed in a viscously evolving disk. We wish to understand how local runaway pile-up of solids occurs insi…

Accelerated FDPS --- Algorithms to Use Accelerators with FDPS

Masaki Iwasawa, Daisuke Namekata, Keigo Nitadori +4

In this paper, we describe the algorithms we implemented in FDPS to make efficient use of accelerator hardware such as GPGPUs. We have developed FDPS to make it possible for many r…

Effects of a Binary Companion Star on Habitability of Tidally Locked Planets around an M-type Host Star

Ayaka Okuya, Yuka Fujii, Shigeru Ida

Planets in the "Habitable Zones" around M-type stars are important targets for characterization in future observations. Due to tidal-locking in synchronous spin-orbit rotations, th…

Pressure-induced structural dimerization in the hyperhoneycomb iridate -LiIrO at low temperatures

L. S. I. Veiga, K. Glazyrin, G. Fabbris +10

A pressure-induced collapse of magnetic ordering in -LiIrO at GPa has previously been interpreted as evidence for possible emergence of spin liquid state…

Discovery of an au-scale excess in millimeter emission from the protoplanetary disk around TW Hya

Takashi Tsukagoshi, Takayuki Muto, Hideko Nomura +10

We report the detection of an excess in dust continuum emission at 233~GHz (1.3~mm in wavelength) in the protoplanetary disk around TW~Hya revealed through high-sensitivity observa…

Water delivery by pebble accretion to rocky planets in habitable zones in evolving disks

Shigeru Ida, Takeru Yamamura, Satoshi Okuzumi

The Earth's ocean mass is only 2.3 x 10^{-4} of the whole planet mass. Even including water in the interior, it would be at most 10^{-3}-10^{-2}. Ancient Mars may have had a simila…
