Formation of Ryugu's parent planetesimal beyond the CO snow line from small pebbles: insights from thermal evolution modeling
Sota Arakawa, Hidenori Genda, Noriyuki Kawasaki +3
Astronomical observations of planet-forming circumstellar disks indicate that planetesimals form from 0.1-mm- to 1-cm-sized dust aggregates, commonly called ``pebbles.'' When such…
Atmospheric Collapse and Habitability on Tidally-Locked Exoplanets
Keigo Taniguchi, Takanori Kodama, Martin Turbet +3
The habitability of terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs is a key topic in the search for extraterrestrial life. The climates of these planets differ significantly from the Ear…
Impacts of Atmospheric Carbon Species and Stellar Type on Climates of Terrestrial Planets
Jared Landry, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Tetsuo Taki +3
The climates of terrestrial planets are largely determined by the composition of their atmospheres and spectral types of their host stars. Previous studies suggest a wide range of…
Low rock mass fraction within trans-Neptunian objects inferred from the spin-orbit evolution of Orcus-Vanth and Salacia-Actaea
Sota Arakawa, Shunichi Kamata, Hidenori Genda
Satellites play a crucial role in understanding the formation and evolution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). The spin--orbit evolution of satellite systems depends on their therm…
Large planets may not form fractionally large moons
Miki Nakajima, Hidenori Genda, Erik Asphaug +1
One of the unique aspects of Earth is that it has a fractionally large Moon, which is thought to have formed from a Moon-forming disk generated by a giant impact. The Moon stabiliz…
Mixing model of Phobos' bulk elemental composition for the determination of its origin: Multivariate analysis of MMX/MEGANE data
Kaori Hirata, Tomohiro Usui, Ryuki Hyodo +6
The formation process of the two Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, is still debated with two main competing hypotheses: the capture of an asteroid or a giant impact onto Mars. In o…
