Highly siderophile elements were stripped from Earth's mantle by iron sulfide segregation
David C. Rubie, Vera Laurenz, Seth A. Jacobson +4
Highly siderophile elements (HSEs) are strongly depleted in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE) but are present in near-chondritic relative abundances. The conventional explanation is th…
Lunar and Terrestrial Planet Formation in the Grand Tack Scenario
Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli
We present conclusions from a large number of N-body simulations of the giant impact phase of terrestrial planet formation. We focus on new results obtained from the recently propo…
Dynamics of rotationally fissioned asteroids: Source of observed small asteroid systems
Seth A Jacobson, Daniel J Scheeres
We present a model of near-Earth asteroid (NEA) rotational fission and ensuing dynamics that describes the creation of synchronous binaries and all other observed NEA systems inclu…
Formation of asteroid pairs by rotational fission
P. Pravec, D. Vokrouhlicky, D. Polishook +23
Asteroid pairs sharing similar heliocentric orbits were found recently. Backward integrations of their orbits indicated that they separated gently with low relative velocities, but…
