Oxidation Constraints on Terrestrial Planet Formation from a Ring

Katherine I. Dale, Alessandro Morbidelli, Gabriel Nathan +3

The present-day solar system comprises meteorites with varying oxidation levels, derived from different parent bodies. Previous studies (e.g. Rubie et al., 2011) of the partitionin…

Terrestrial planet formation from a ring: long-term simulations accounting for the giant planet instability

J. M. Y. Woo, D. Nesvorny, J. Scora +1

The process leading to the formation of the terrestrial planet remains elusive. In a previous publication, we have shown that, if the first generation of planetesimals forms in a r…

Terrestrial planet formation from a ring

J. M. Y. Woo, A. Morbidelli, S. L. Grimm +2

It has been long proposed that, if all the terrestrial planets form within a tiny ring of solid material at around 1 AU, the concentrated mass-distance distribution of the current…

Evidence of a primordial isotopic gradient in the inner region of the solar protoplanetary disc

J. Mah, R. Brasser, J. M. Y. Woo +2

Not only do the sampled terrestrial worlds (Earth, Mars, and asteroid 4 Vesta) differ in their mass-independent (nucleosynthetic) isotopic compositions of many elements (e.g. $\var…

The terrestrial planet formation paradox inferred from high-resolution N-body simulations

Jason Man Yin Woo, Ramon Brasser, Simon L. Grimm +2

Recent improvements to GPU hardware and the symplectic N-body code GENGA allow for unprecedented resolution in simulations of planet formation. In this paper, we report results fro…

Did Uranus' regular moons form via a rocky giant impactor?

Jason Man Yin Woo, Christian Reinhardt, Marco Cilibrasi +3

The formation of Uranus' regular moons has been suggested to be linked to the origin of its enormous spin axial tilt (~98^o). A giant impact between proto-Uranus and a 2-3 M_Earth…
