A Collisional Origin for Ice-rich Iapetus and Titan's Anomalous Eccentricity
Ignacio Mosqueira
We test whether collisions involving Titan can eject enough water-rich material onto sufficiently distant Saturn-bound orbits to form Iapetus, while also accounting for Titan's orb…
Satellite Survival through Gas Redistribution in a Low-viscosity Disk
Ignacio Mosqueira
We investigate satellite survival through gas redistribution in a dense circumplanetary disk with a low dimensionless viscosity parameter . The model combines modal…
PDS 70 c and SR 12 c: Observational Constraints on Giant-Planet and Satellite Formation
Ignacio Mosqueira
PDS~70~c and SR~12~c are the only bound planetary-mass objects with secure cold submillimeter disk detections. Together, these systems constrain giant-planet growth and satellite f…
Deciphering the Origin of the Regular Satellites of Gaseous Giants - Iapetus: the Rosetta Ice-Moon
Ignacio Mosqueira, Paul R. Estrada, Sebastien Charnoz
Here we show that Iapetus can serve to discriminate between satellite formation models. Its accretion history can be understood in terms of a two-component gaseous subnebula, with…
Planetesimals and Satellitesimals: Formation of the Satellite Systems
Ignacio Mosqueira, Paul R. Estrada, Diego Turrini
The origin of the regular satellites ties directly to planetary formation in that the satellites form in gas and dust disks around the giant planets and may be viewed as mini-solar…
Formation of Jupiter and Conditions for Accretion of the Galilean Satellites
Paul R. Estrada, Ignacio Mosqueira, Jack J. Lissauer +2
We present an overview of the formation of Jupiter and its associated circumplanetary disk. Jupiter forms via a combination of planetesimal accretion and gravitational accumulation…
