Fossilized condensation lines in the Solar System protoplanetary disk
A. Morbidelli, B. Bitsch, A. Crida +6
The terrestrial planets and the asteroids dominant in the inner asteroid belt are water poor. However, in the protoplanetary disk the temperature should have decreased below water…
Multiple origins of asteroid pairs
Seth A. Jacobson
Rotationally fissioned asteroids produce unbound daughter asteroids that have very similar heliocentric orbits. Backward integration of their current heliocentric orbits provides a…
The Formation of Striae within Cometary Dust Tails by a Sublimation-Driven YORP-like Effect
Jordan K. Steckloff, Seth A. Jacobson
Sublimating gas molecules scatter off of the surface of an icy body in the same manner as photons. This means that for every photon-driven body force, there should be a sublimation…
Formation and Evolution of Binary Asteroids
Kevin J. Walsh, Seth A. Jacobson
Satellites of asteroids have been discovered in nearly every known small body population, and a remarkable aspect of the known satellites is the diversity of their properties. They…
The great dichotomy of the Solar System: small terrestrial embryos and massive giant planet cores
A. Morbidelli, M. Lambrechts, S. Jacobson +1
The basic structure of the solar system is set by the presence of low-mass terrestrial planets in its inner part and giant planets in its outer part. This is the result of the form…
Mechanisms and Geochemical Models of Core Formation
David C. Rubie, Seth A. Jacobson
The formation of the Earth's core is a consequence of planetary accretion and processes in the Earth's interior. The mechanical process of planetary differentiation is likely to oc…
Highly Siderophile Elements in the Earth's Mantle as a Clock for the Moon-forming Impact
Seth A. Jacobson, Alessandro Morbidelli, Sean N. Raymond +3
According to the generally accepted scenario, the last giant impact on the Earth formed the Moon and initiated the final phase of core formation by melting the Earth's mantle. A ke…
Earth and Terrestrial Planet Formation
Seth A. Jacobson, Kevin J. Walsh
The growth and composition of Earth is a direct consequence of planet formation throughout the Solar System. We discuss the known history of the Solar System, the proposed stages o…
