Direct imaging of molten protoplanets in nearby young stellar associations
Irene Bonati, Tim Lichtenberg, Dan J Bower +2
During their formation and early evolution, rocky planets undergo multiple global melting events due to accretionary collisions with other protoplanets. The detection and character…
Late metal-silicate separation on the IAB parent asteroid: Constraints from combined W and Pt isotopes and thermal modelling
Alison C. Hunt, David L. Cook, Tim Lichtenberg +4
The short-lived Hf-W decay system is a powerful chronometer for constraining the timing of metal-silicate separation and core formation in planetesimals and planets…
Magma ascent in planetesimals: control by grain size
Tim Lichtenberg, Tobias Keller, Richard F. Katz +2
Rocky planetesimals in the early solar system melted internally and evolved chemically due to radiogenic heating from Al-26. Here we quantify the parametric controls on magma genes…
