New insight into the Solar System's transition disk phase provided by the unusual meteorite Isheyevo
Melissa A. Morris, Laurence A. J. Garvie, L. Paul Knauth
Many aspects of planet formation are controlled by the amount of gas remaining in the natal protoplanetary disk (PPDs). Infrared observations show that PPDs undergo a transition st…
Overcoming the Meter Barrier and The Formation of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs)
Aaron C. Boley, Melissa A. Morris, Eric B. Ford
We present a solution to the long outstanding meter barrier problem in planet formation theory. As solids spiral inward due to aerodynamic drag, they will enter disk regions that a…
High-Temperature Processing of Solids Through Solar Nebular Bow Shocks: 3D Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations with Particles
A. C. Boley, M. A. Morris, S. J. Desch
A fundamental, unsolved problem in Solar System formation is explaining the melting and crystallization of chondrules found in chondritic meteorites. Theoretical models of chondrul…
A Critical Examination of the X-Wind Model for Chondrule and Calcium-rich, Aluminum-rich Inclusion Formation and Radionuclide Production
S. J. Desch, M. A. Morris, H. C. Connolly +1
Meteoritic data, especially regarding chondrules and calcium-rich, aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs), and isotopic evidence for short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) in the solar nebula,…
Thermal Histories of Chondrules in Solar Nebula Shocks
M. A. Morris, S. J. Desch
Chondrules are important early Solar System materials that can provide a wealth of information on conditions in the solar nebula, if their formation mechanism can be understood. Th…
