How Common are Extrasolar, Late Heavy Bombardments?
Mark Booth, Mark C. Wyatt, Alessandro Morbidelli +2
The habitability of planets is strongly affected by impacts from comets and asteroids. Indications from the ages of Moon rocks suggest that the inner Solar System experienced an in…
Long range outward migration of giant planets, with application to Fomalhaut b
A. Crida, F. Masset, A. Morbidelli
Recent observations of exoplanets by direct imaging, reveal that giant planets orbit at a few dozens to more than a hundred of AU from their central star. The question of the origi…
Heating of near-Earth objects and meteoroids due to close approaches to the Sun
S. Marchi, M. Delbo', A. Morbidelli +2
It is known that near-Earth objects (NEOs) during their orbital evolution may often undergo close approaches to the Sun. Indeed it is estimated that up to ~70% of them end their or…
Asteroids Were Born Big
Alessandro Morbidelli, William Bottke, David Nesvorny +1
How big were the first planetesimals? We attempt to answer this question by conducting coagulation simulations in which the planetesimals grow by mutual collisions and form larger…
Dynamical Models of Terrestrial Planet Formation
Jonathan I. Lunine, David P. O'Brien, Sean N. Raymond +3
We review the problem of the formation of terrestrial planets, with particular emphasis on the interaction of dynamical and geochemical models. The lifetime of gas around stars in…
The History of the Solar System's Debris Disc: Observable Properties of the Kuiper Belt
Mark Booth, Mark C. Wyatt, Alessandro Morbidelli +2
The Nice model of Gomes et al. (2005) suggests that the migration of the giant planets caused a planetesimal clearing event which led to the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) at 880 Myr…
