Accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets with implications for the compositions of early-formed Solar System bodies and accretion of water
David C. Rubie, Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli +5
In order to test planetary accretion and differentiation scenarios, we integrated a multistage core-mantle differentiation model with N-body accretion simulations. Impacts between…
Small asteroid system evolution
Seth A. Jacobson
Observations with radar, photometric and direct imaging techniques have discovered that multiple asteroid systems can be divided clearly into a handful of different morphologies, a…
Post-main-sequence debris from rotation-induced YORP break-up of small bodies
Dimitri Veras, Seth A. Jacobson, Boris T. Gaensicke
Although discs of dust and gas have been observed orbiting white dwarfs, the origin of this circumstellar matter is uncertain. We hypothesize that the in-situ breakup of small bodi…
Lunar and Terrestrial Planet Formation in the Grand Tack Scenario
Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli
We present conclusions from a large number of N-body simulations of the giant impact phase of terrestrial planet formation. We focus on new results obtained from the recently propo…
Dynamics of rotationally fissioned asteroids: Source of observed small asteroid systems
Seth A Jacobson, Daniel J Scheeres
We present a model of near-Earth asteroid (NEA) rotational fission and ensuing dynamics that describes the creation of synchronous binaries and all other observed NEA systems inclu…
Effect of rotational disruption on the size-frequency distribution of the Main Belt asteroid population
Seth A. Jacobson, Francesco Marzari, Alessandro Rossi +2
The size distribution of small asteroids in the Main Belt is assumed to be determined by an equilibrium between the creation of new bodies out of the impact debris of larger astero…
