Origin of the peculiar eccentricity distribution of the inner cold Kuiper belt
A. Morbidelli, H. S. Gaspar, D. Nesvorny
Dawson and Murray-Clay (2012) pointed out that the inner part of the cold population in the Kuiper belt (that with semi major axis a<43.5 AU) has orbital eccentricities significant…
Geochemical and planetary dynamical views on the origin of Earth's atmosphere and oceans
Nicolas Dauphas, Alessandro Morbidelli
Earth's volatile elements (H, C, and N) are essential to maintaining habitable conditions for metazoans and simpler life forms. However, identifying the sources (comets, meteorites…
Terrestrial Planet Formation at Home and Abroad
Sean N. Raymond, Eiichiro Kokubo, Alessandro Morbidelli +2
We review the state of the field of terrestrial planet formation with the goal of understanding the formation of the inner Solar System and low-mass exoplanets. We review the dynam…
The Long-Term Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems
Melvyn B. Davies, Fred C. Adams, Philip Armitage +5
This chapter concerns the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary systems from both theoretical and observational perspectives. We begin by discussing the planet-planet interact…
Analytical Treatment of Planetary Resonances
Konstantin Batygin, Alessandro Morbidelli
An ever-growing observational aggregate of extrasolar planets has revealed that systems of planets that reside in or near mean-motion resonances are relatively common. While the or…
Early Dynamical Instabilities in the Giant Planet Systems
Elena Lega, Alessandro Morbidelli, David Nesvorný
The observed wide eccentricity distribution of extrasolar giant planets is thought to be the result of dynamical instabilities and gravitational scattering among planets. Previousl…
