Highly siderophile elements were stripped from Earth's mantle by iron sulfide segregation
David C. Rubie, Vera Laurenz, Seth A. Jacobson +4
Highly siderophile elements (HSEs) are strongly depleted in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE) but are present in near-chondritic relative abundances. The conventional explanation is th…
Matching asteroid population characteristics with a model constructed from the YORP-induced rotational fission hypothesis
Seth Andrew Jacobson, Francesco Marzari, Alessandro Rossi +1
From the results of a comprehensive asteroid population evolution model, we conclude that the YORP-induced rotational fission hypothesis can be consistent with the observed populat…
Impact-induced melting during accretion of the Earth
Jellie de Vries, Francis Nimmo, H. Jay Melosh +3
Because of the high energies involved, giant impacts that occur during planetary accretion cause large degrees of melting. The depth of melting in the target body after each collis…
Oxygen isotopic evidence for vigorous mixing during the Moon-forming Giant Impact
Edward D. Young, Issaku E. Kohl, Paul H. Warren +3
Earth and Moon are shown here to be composed of oxygen isotope reservoirs that are indistinguishable, with a difference in Δ"17O of -1 +/- 5ppm (2se). Based on these data and our n…
Did Jupiter's core form in the innermost parts of the Sun's protoplanetary disk?
Sean N. Raymond, Andre Izidoro, Bertram Bitsch +1
Jupiter's core is generally assumed to have formed beyond the snow line. Here we consider an alternative scenario, that Jupiter's core may have accumulated in the innermost parts o…
