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…
Will Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) Survive Perihelion?
Matthew M. Knight, Kevin J. Walsh
On 2013 November 28 Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) will pass by the Sun with a perihelion distance of 2.7 solar radii. Understanding the possible outcomes for the comet's response to such…
Numerical simulations of granular dynamics. I. Hard-sphere discrete element method and tests
Derek C. Richardson, Kevin J. Walsh, Naomi Murdoch +1
We present a new particle-based (discrete element) numerical method for the simulation of granular dynamics, with application to motions of particles on small solar system body and…
Constraining the primordial orbits of the Terrestrial Planets
R. Brasser, K. Walsh, D. Nesvorny
Evidence in the Solar System suggests that the giant planets underwent an epoch of radial migration that was very rapid, with an e-folding timescale shorter than 1~Myr. It is proba…
Introducing the Eulalia and new Polana asteroid families: re-assessing primitive asteroid families in the inner Main Belt
Kevin J. Walsh, Marco Delbó, William F. Bottke +2
The so-called Nysa-Polana complex of asteroids is a diverse and widespread group. It appears to be two overlapping families of different asteroid taxonomies: (44) Nysa is an E-type…
