Growing the terrestrial planets from the gradual accumulation of sub-meter sized objects
Harold F. Levison, Katherine A. Kretke, Kevin Walsh +1
Building the terrestrial planets has been a challenge for planet formation models. In particular, classical theories have been unable to reproduce the small mass of Mars and instea…
Formation and Evolution of Binary Asteroids
Kevin J. Walsh, Seth A. Jacobson
Satellites of asteroids have been discovered in nearly every known small body population, and a remarkable aspect of the known satellites is the diversity of their properties. They…
The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt
Francesca E. DeMeo, Conel M. O'D. Alexander, Kevin J. Walsh +2
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measuremen…
Formation and evolution of Pluto's small satellites
Kevin J. Walsh, Harold F. Levison
Pluto's system of 5 known satellites are in a puzzling orbital configuration. Each of the four small satellites are on low-eccentricity and low-inclination orbits situated near a m…
Highly Siderophile Elements in the Earth's Mantle as a Clock for the Moon-forming Impact
Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli, Sean N. Raymond +3
According to the generally accepted scenario, the last giant impact on the Earth formed the Moon and initiated the final phase of core formation by melting the Earth's mantle. A ke…
Earth and Terrestrial Planet Formation
Seth A. Jacobson, Kevin J. Walsh
The growth and composition of Earth is a direct consequence of planet formation throughout the Solar System. We discuss the known history of the Solar System, the proposed stages o…
