Numerical Insights into Disk Accretion, Eccentricity, and Kinematics in the Class 0 phase
Adnan Ali Ahmad, Benoît Commerçon, Elliot Lynch +4
The formation and early evolution of protoplanetary disks are governed by a wide variety of physical processes during a gravitational collapse. Observations have begun probing disk…
The Origins & Reservoirs of Exocomets
Michele Bannister, Susanne Pfalzner, Tim Pearce +11
Small bodies exist in distinct populations within their planetary systems. These reservoir populations hold a range of compositions, which to first order are dependent on formation…
Centaur Nuclei: Sizes, Shapes, Spins, and Structure
Y. R. Fernandez, M. W. Buie, P. Lacerda +1
We present a wide-ranging but in-depth analysis of Centaurs, focusing on their physical and structural aspects. Centaurs, originating from the Scattered Disk and Kuiper Belt, play…
The refractory-to-ice ratio in comet 67P: implications on the composition of the comet-forming region of the protoplanetary disk
Raphael Marschall, Alessandro Morbidelli, Yves Marrocchi
Comets, asteroids, and other small bodies are thought to be remnants of the original planetesimal population of the Solar System. As such, their physical, chemical, and isotopic pr…
