Accretion of the earliest inner solar system planetesimals beyond the water-snowline

Damanveer S. Grewal, Nicole X. Nie, Bidong Zhang +2

How and where the first generation of inner solar system planetesimals formed remains poorly understood. Potential formation regions are the silicate condensation line and water-sn…

The distribution of volatile elements during rocky planet formation

Terry-Ann Suer, Colin Jackson, Damanveer S. Grewal +2

Core segregation and atmosphere formation are two of the major processes that redistribute the volatile elements-hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S)-in and aroun…

Internal or external magma oceans in the earliest protoplanets -- perspectives from nitrogen and carbon fractionation

Damanveer S. Grewal, Johnny D. Seales, Rajdeep Dasgupta

When the extent of protoplanetary melting approached magma ocean (MO)-like conditions, alloy melts efficiently segregated from the silicates to form metallic cores. The nature of t…

A very early origin of isotopically distinct nitrogen in inner Solar System protoplanets

Damanveer S. Grewal, Rajdeep Dasgupta, Bernard Marty

Understanding the origin of life-essential volatiles like N in the Solar System and beyond is critical to evaluate the potential habitability of rocky planets. Whether the inner So…

Rates of protoplanetary accretion and differentiation set nitrogen budget of rocky planets

Damanveer S. Grewal, Rajdeep Dasgupta, Taylor Hough +1

The effect of protoplanetary differentiation on the fate of life essential volatiles like nitrogen and carbon and its subsequent effect on the dynamics of planetary growth is unkno…

Mineralogy, structure and habitability of carbon-enriched rocky exoplanets: A laboratory approach

Kaustubh Hakim, Rob Spaargaren, Damanveer S. Grewal +4

Carbon-enriched rocky exoplanets have been proposed around dwarf stars as well as around binary stars, white dwarfs and pulsars. However, the mineralogical make up of such planets…
