Building Terrestrial Planets
Alessandro Morbidelli, Jonathan I. Lunine, David P. O`brien +2
This paper reviews our current understanding of terrestrial planets formation. The focus is on computer simulations of the dynamical aspects of the accretion process. Throughout th…
Physical characterization and origin of binary near-Earth asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3
Kevin J. Walsh, Marco Delbo, Michael Mueller +2
The near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (175706) 1996 FG3 is a particularly interesting spacecraft target: a binary asteroid with a low-DeltaV heliocentric orbit. The orbit of its satellite…
A low mass for Mars from Jupiter's early gas-driven migration
Kevin J. Walsh, Alessando Morbidelli, Sean N. Raymond +2
Jupiter and Saturn formed in a few million years (Haisch et al. 2001) from a gas-dominated protoplanetary disk, and were susceptible to gas-driven migration of their orbits on time…
The Link Between Planetary Systems, Dusty White Dwarfs, and Metal Polluted White Dwarfs
J. Debes, K. Walsh, C. Stark
It has long been suspected that metal polluted white dwarfs (types DAZ, DBZ, and DZ) and white dwarfs with dusty disks possess planetary systems, but a specific physical mechanism…
