Tidal Demise: The Evolution and Fate of a Hypothetical Venus Moon
Stephen R. Kane, Franck Selsis, Jeremy Leconte +1
Venus possesses no natural satellite, raising the question whether a formed moon could have survived. We explore the tidal evolution of a Venus-moon system, coupling Venus's spin t…
The Dynamics of Planetary Ejection
Malena Rice, William DeRocco, Sean N. Raymond
The ubiquity of free-floating planets inferred from microlensing and direct imaging surveys suggests that planetary ejection---a process in which planets initially born encircling…
Was the Solar System's dynamical instability triggered by a (sub)stellar flyby?
Sean N. Raymond, Nathan A. Kaib
An instability among the giant planets' orbits can match many aspects of the Solar System's current orbital architecture. We explore the possibility that this dynamical instability…
Dynamical origin of Theia, the last giant impactor on Earth
Duarte Branco, Sean N. Raymond, Pedro Machado
Cosmochemical studies have proposed that Earth accreted roughly 5-10% of its mass from carbonaceous (CC) material, with a large fraction delivered late via its final impactor, Thei…
Asteroids fail to retain cometary impact signatures
Sarah Joiret, Guillaume Avice, Ludovic Ferrière +4
A bombardment of comets is thought to have occurred in the inner solar system as a result of a dynamical instability among the giant planets after gas disk dispersal. Vesta, the se…
Clues for Solar System Formation from Meteorites and their Parent Bodies
Bernard Marty, Katherine R. Bermingham, Larry R. Nittler +1
Understanding the origin of comets requires knowledge of how the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas 4.567 Gyr ago. Here, a review is presented of how the remnants of…
