Comparisons of the core and mantle compositions of earth analogs from different terrestrial planet formation scenarios
Jesse T. Gu, Rebecca A. Fischer, Matthew C. Brennan +5
The chemical compositions of Earth's core and mantle provide insight into the processes that led to their formation. N-body simulations, on the other hand, generally do not contain…
Earths in Other Solar Systems N-body simulations: the Role of Orbital Damping in Reproducing the Kepler Planetary Systems
Gijs D. Mulders, David P. O'Brien, Fred J. Ciesla +2
The population of exoplanetary systems detected by Kepler provides opportunities to refine our understanding of planet formation. Unraveling the conditions needed to produce the ob…
The Delivery of Water During Terrestrial Planet Formation
David P. O'Brien, Andre Izidoro, Seth A. Jacobson +2
The planetary building blocks that formed in the terrestrial planet region were likely very dry, yet water is comparatively abundant on Earth. We review the various mechanisms prop…
Highly Siderophile Elements in the Earth's Mantle as a Clock for the Moon-forming Impact
Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli, Sean N. Raymond +3
According to the generally accepted scenario, the last giant impact on the Earth formed the Moon and initiated the final phase of core formation by melting the Earth's mantle. A ke…
The Dynamical Evolution of the Asteroid Belt
Alessandro Morbidelli, Kevin J. Walsh, David P. O'Brien +2
The asteroid belt is the leftover of the original planetesimal population in the inner solar system. However, currently the asteroids have orbits with all possible values of eccent…
Accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets with implications for the compositions of early-formed Solar System bodies and accretion of water
David C. Rubie, Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli +5
In order to test planetary accretion and differentiation scenarios, we integrated a multistage core-mantle differentiation model with N-body accretion simulations. Impacts between…
