Planetesimal Impact Vapor Plumes and Nebular Shocks form Chondritic Mixtures

Sarah T. Stewart, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +3

The origin of chondrules, and the chondritic sedimentary rocks that dominate the meteoritic record, is a long-standing problem in planetary science. Here, we develop a physical mod…

EOS Manual

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Dimitar D. Sasselov +1

The exoplanet field now abounds with new discoveries of planets and planetary systems. It is of great interest for the scientific community to understand the compositions and inter…

Maximum Temperatures in Evolving Protoplanetary Discs and Composition of Planetary Building Blocks

Min Li, Shichun Huang, Zhaohuan Zhu +2

The maximum temperature and radial temperature profile in a protoplanetary disc are important for the condensation of different elements in the disc. We simulate the evolution of a…

New Perspectives on the Exoplanet Radius Gap from a Mathematica Tool and Visualized Water Equation of State

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Eugenia Hyung +12

Recent astronomical observations obtained with the Kepler and TESS missions and their related ground-based follow-ups revealed an abundance of exoplanets with a size intermediate b…

Stellar outbursts and chondrite composition

Min Li, Zhaohuan Zhu, Shichun Huang +3

The temperatures of observed protoplanetary disks are not sufficiently high to produce the accretion rate needed to form stars, nor are they sufficient to explain the volatile depl…

Growth Model Interpretation of Planet Size Distribution

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Dimitar D. Sasselov +13

The radii and orbital periods of 4000+ confirmed/candidate exoplanets have been precisely measured by the Kepler mission. The radii show a bimodal distribution, with two peaks corr…

Dust Condensation in Evolving Discs and the Composition of Planetary Building Blocks

Min Li, Shichun Huang, Michail I. Petaev +2

Partial condensation of dust from the Solar nebula is likely responsible for the diverse chemical compositions of chondrites and rocky planets/planetesimals in the inner Solar syst…

Planet Size Distribution from the Kepler Mission and its Implications for Planet Formation

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Eugenia Hyung +8

The size distribution of exoplanets is a bimodal division into two groups: Rocky planet (<2 Earth radii) and water-rich planet (>2 Earth radii) with or without gaseous envelope.

The origin of the Moon within a terrestrial synestia

Simon J. Lock, Sarah T. Stewart, Michail I. Petaev +4

The giant impact hypothesis remains the leading theory for lunar origin. However, current models struggle to explain the Moon's composition and isotopic similarity with Earth. Here…
