The Metal-Silicate Partitioning of Carbon During Earth's Accretion and its Distribution in the Early Solar System
I. Blanchard, D. C. Rubie, E. S. Jennings +6
Carbon is an essential element for the existence and evolution of life on Earth. Its abundance in Earth's crust and mantle (the Bulk Silicate Earth, BSE) is surprisingly high given…
Contemporary formation of early solar system planetesimals at two distinct radial locations
Alessandro Morbidelli, Kevin Baillie, Konstantin Batygin +4
The formation of planetesimals is expected to occur via particle-gas instabilities that concentrate dust into self-gravitating clumps. Triggering these instabilities requires the p…
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…
