Planetary Embryo Bow Shocks as a Mechanism for Chondrule Formation
Christopher R. Mann, Aaron C. Boley, Melissa M. Morris
We use radiation hydrodynamics with direct particle integration to explore the feasibility of chondrule formation in planetary embryo bow shocks. The calculations presented here ar…
The effect of multiple particle sizes on cooling rates of chondrules produced in large-scale shocks in the solar nebula
Melissa A. Morris, Stuart J. Weidenschilling, Steven J. Desch
Chondrules represent one of the best probes of the physical conditions and processes acting in the early solar nebula. Proposed chondrule formation models are assessed based on the…
Phyllosilicate Emission from Protoplanetary Disks: Is the Indirect Detection of Extrasolar Water Possible?
Melissa A. Morris, Steven J. Desch
Phyllosilicates are hydrous minerals formed by interaction between rock and liquid water and are commonly found in meteorites originating in the asteroid belt. Collisions between a…
Chondrule Formation in Bow Shocks around Eccentric Planetary Embryos
Melissa A. Morris, Aaron C. Boley, Steven J. Desch +1
Recent isotopic studies of Martian meteorites by Dauphas & Pourmond (2011) have established that large (~ 3000 km radius) planetary embryos existed in the solar nebula at the same…
