Oxidation Constraints on Terrestrial Planet Formation from a Ring
Katherine I. Dale, Alessandro Morbidelli, Gabriel Nathan +3
The present-day solar system comprises meteorites with varying oxidation levels, derived from different parent bodies. Previous studies (e.g. Rubie et al., 2011) of the partitionin…
Col-OSSOS: Investigating the Origins of Different Surfaces in the Primordial Kuiper Belt
Laura E. Buchanan, Megan E. Schwamb, Wesley C. Fraser +12
The Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS) measured the optical/NIR colours of a brightness-complete sample of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). Like previous s…
Two-source terrestrial planet formation with a sweeping secular resonance
Max Goldberg, David Nesvorný, Alessandro Morbidelli
The models that most successfully reproduce the orbital architecture of the Solar System terrestrial planets start from a narrow annulus of material that grows into embryos and the…
The ejection velocities of interstellar objects signpost their progenitor system architectures
Leah Albrow, Michele T. Bannister, John C. Forbes +1
Interstellar objects (ISOs) ejected from planetary systems carry kinematic signatures of their formation environments. The properties of these velocity distributions govern the ISO…
