The Cratering History of Asteroid (21) Lutetia
S. Marchi, M. Massironi, J. -B. Vincent +9
The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft passed by the main belt asteroid (21) Lutetia the 10th July 2010. With its ~100km size, Lutetia is one of the largest asteroids ever…
Did the Hilda collisional family form during the late heavy bombardment?
M. Brož, D. Vokrouhlický, A. Morbidelli +2
We model the long-term evolution of the Hilda collisional family located in the 3/2 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter. Its eccentricity distribution evolves mostly due to the Yark…
Dynamical evolution of planetary systems
Alessandro Morbidelli
The apparent regularity of the motion of the giant planets of our solar system suggested for decades that said planets formed onto orbits similar to the current ones and that nothi…
Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems in Presence of Highly Inclined Stellar Perturbers
Konstantin Batygin, Alessandro Morbidelli, Kleomenis Tsiganis
The presence of highly eccentric extrasolar planets in binary stellar systems suggests that the Kozai effect has played an important role in shaping their dynamical architectures.…
Onset of Secular Chaos in Planetary Systems: Period Doubling & Strange Attractors
Konstantin Batygin, Alessandro Morbidelli
As a result of resonance overlap, planetary systems can exhibit chaotic motion. Planetary chaos has been studied extensively in the Hamiltonian framework, however, the presence of…
The Effect of an Early Planetesimal-Driven Migration of the Giant Planets on Terrestrial Planet Formation
Kevin J. Walsh, Alessandro Morbidelli
The migration of the giant planets due to the scattering of planetesimals causes powerful resonances to move through the asteroid belt and the terrestrial planet region. Exactly wh…
