The Extent of Solar Energetic Particle Irradiation in the Sun's Protoplanetary Disk

Steven J. Desch, Ashley K. Herbst, Richard L. Hervig +1

Solar flares emit X rays and high-energy (MeV-GeV) ions (Solar Energetic Particles, or SEPs). Astronomical observations show solar mass-protostellar fluxes are a factor $Φ\approx 3…

The first white dwarf debris disk observed by JWST

Andrew Swan, Jay Farihi, Kate Y. L. Su +1

This letter reports the first JWST spectroscopy of a white dwarf debris disk, giving a preliminary assessment of the salient features, and recommendations for future observations.…

Planetesimals at DZ stars I: chondritic compositions and a massive accretion event

Andrew Swan, Jay Farihi, Carl Melis +4

There is a wealth of evidence to suggest that planetary systems can survive beyond the main sequence. Most commonly, white dwarfs are found to be accreting material from tidally di…

Origin of Low- Corundum/Hibonite Inclusions in Meteorites

Steven J. Desch, Emilie T. Dunham, Ashley K. Herbst +5

Most meteoritic calcium-rich, aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) formed from a reservoir with , but some record lower $({}^{2…

The Nominal Range of Rocky Planet Masses, Radii, Surface Gravities and Bulk Densities

Cayman T. Unterborn, Steven J. Desch, Jonas Haldemann +4

The two primary observable quantities of an exoplanet--its mass and radius--alone are not sufficient to probe a rocky exoplanet's interior composition and mineralogy. To overcome t…

Statistical Chronometry of Meteorites. I. The Pb-Pb age of the Solar System's t=0

Steven J. Desch, Daniel R. Dunlap, Emilie T. Dunham +2

We use rapidly cooled achondrites to test the assumption of 26Al homogeneity in the solar nebula, by checking if there is a single value of tSS, the absolute "Pb-Pb" age of the Sol…
