Growth of Jupiter: Formation in Disks of Gas and Solids and Evolution to the Present Epoch
Gennaro D'Angelo, Stuart J. Weidenschilling, Jack J. Lissauer +1
[Abridged] The formation of Jupiter is modeled via core-nucleated accretion, and the planet's evolution is simulated up to the present epoch. The growth from a small embryo until g…
The effect of multiple particle sizes on cooling rates of chondrules produced in large-scale shocks in the solar nebula
Melissa A. Morris, Stuart J. Weidenschilling, Steven J. Desch
Chondrules represent one of the best probes of the physical conditions and processes acting in the early solar nebula. Proposed chondrule formation models are assessed based on the…
Growth of Jupiter: Enhancement of Core Accretion by a Voluminous Low-Mass Envelope
Gennaro D'Angelo, Stuart J. Weidenschilling, Jack J. Lissauer +1
We present calculations of the early stages of the formation of Jupiter via core nucleated accretion and gas capture. The core begins as a seed body of about 350 kilometers in radi…
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: Placing Our Solar System in Context with Spitzer
Michael R. Meyer, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Dana Backman +32
We provide an overview of the Spitzer Legacy Program ``Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems" (FEPS) which was proposed in 2000, begun in 2001, and executed aboard the Spitz…
Gravitational instability and clustering in a disk of planetesimals
P. Tanga, S. J. Weidenschilling, P. Michel +1
For a long time, gravitational instability in the disk of planetesimals has been suspected to be the main engine responsible for the beginning of dust growth, its advantage being t…
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: First Results from a Spitzer Legacy Science Program
M. R. Meyer, L. A. Hillenbrand, D. E. Backman +34
We present 3-160 micron photometry obtained with the IRAC and MIPS instruments for the first five targets from the Spitzer Legacy Science Program "Formation and Evolution of Planet…
