Thermal convection in the crust of the dwarf planet (1) Ceres
M. Formisano, C. Federico, J. Castillo-Rogez +2
Ceres is the largest body in the Main Belt, and it is characterized by a large abundance of water ice in its interior. This feature is suggested by its relatively low bulk density…
Selfgravitating disks in binary systems: an SPH approach -- I. Implementation of the code and reliability tests
Luis Diego Pinto, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Gianfranco Magni
The study of the stability of massive gaseous disks around a star in a non-isolated context is not a trivial issue and becomes a more complicated task for disks hosted by binary sy…
The ODINUS Mission Concept - The Scientific Case for a Mission to the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft to Unveil the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
The purpose of this document is to discuss the scientific case of a space mission to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune and their satellite systems and its relevance to advance our…
The Comparative Exploration of the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft: Unveiling the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
In the course of the selection of the scientific themes for the second and third L-class missions of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program of the European Space Agency, the explorati…
Jovian Early Bombardment: planetesimal erosion in the inner asteroid belt
Diego Turrini, Angioletta Coradini, Gianfranco Magni
The asteroid belt is an open window on the history of the Solar System, as it preserves records of both its formation process and its secular evolution. The progenitors of the pres…
Vesta and Ceres: crossing the history of the Solar System
Angioletta Coradini, Diego Turrini, Costanzo Federico +1
The evolution of the Solar System can be schematically divided into three different phases: the Solar Nebula, the Primordial Solar System and the Modern Solar System. These three p…
Saturn satellites as seen by Cassini Mission
A. Coradini, F. Capaccioni, P. Cerroni +5
In this paper we will summarize some of the most important results of the Cassini mission concerning the satellites of Saturn. Given the long duration of the mission, the complexit…
From gas to satellitesimals: disk formation and evolution
Angioletta Coradini, Gianfranco Magni, Diego Turrini
The subject of satellite formation is strictly linked to the one of planetary formation. Giant planets strongly shape the evolution of the circum-planetary disks during their forma…
Probing the history of Solar System through the cratering records on Vesta and Ceres
D. Turrini, G. Magni, A. Coradini
Through its connection with HED meteorites, Vesta is known as one of the first bodies to have accreted and differentiated in the Solar Nebula, predating the formation of Jupiter an…
