The Origins & Reservoirs of Exocomets
Michele Bannister, Susanne Pfalzner, Tim Pearce +11
Small bodies exist in distinct populations within their planetary systems. These reservoir populations hold a range of compositions, which to first order are dependent on formation…
Centaur Nuclei: Sizes, Shapes, Spins, and Structure
Y. R. Fernandez, M. W. Buie, P. Lacerda +1
We present a wide-ranging but in-depth analysis of Centaurs, focusing on their physical and structural aspects. Centaurs, originating from the Scattered Disk and Kuiper Belt, play…
The refractory-to-ice ratio in comet 67P: implications on the composition of the comet-forming region of the protoplanetary disk
Raphael Marschall, Alessandro Morbidelli, Yves Marrocchi
Comets, asteroids, and other small bodies are thought to be remnants of the original planetesimal population of the Solar System. As such, their physical, chemical, and isotopic pr…
Formation and evolution of a protoplanetary disk: combining observations, simulations and cosmochemical constraints
Alessandro Morbidelli, Yves Marrocchi, Adnan Ali Ahmad +12
We present a plausible and coherent view of the evolution of the protosolar disk that is consistent with the cosmochemical constraints and compatible with observations of other pro…
A Contact Binary Satellite of the Asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh
Harold F. Levison, Simone Marchi, Keith S. Noll +3
Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques, YORP, to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830)…
Origin and Evolution of Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids
William F. Bottke, Raphael Marschall, David Nesvorný +1
The origin of the Jupiter Trojan asteroids has long been a mystery. Dynamically, the population, which is considerably smaller than the main asteroid belt, librates around Jupiter'…
The Collisional Evolution of the Primordial Kuiper Belt, Its Destabilized Population, and the Trojan Asteroids
William Bottke, David Vokrouhlicky, Raphael Marshall +6
The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the gi…
