Small Bodies Tell the Story of the Solar System: A Scientific Rationale for a Multi-Target Small Body Sample Return Program including the Earth-based Laboratory Analysis of Returned Samples
Seth A. Jacobson, Maitrayee Bose, Dennis Bodewits +6
Small bodies are time-capsules of different eras of solar system history from the most primitive materials within the solar system to evolved pieces of larger bodies. A small body…
Scaling laws for the geometry of an impact-induced magma ocean
Miki Nakajima, Gregor J. Golabek, Kai Wünnemann +6
Here, we develop scaling laws for (1) the distribution of impact-induced heat within the mantle and (2) shape of the impact-induced melt based on more than 100 smoothed particle hy…
Subsolar Al/Si and Mg/Si ratios of non-carbonaceous chondrites reveal planetesimal formation during early condensation in the protoplanetary disk
A. Morbidelli, G. Libourel, H. Palme +2
The Al/Si and Mg/Si ratios in non-carbonaceous chondrites are lower than the solar (i.e., CI-chondritic) values, in sharp contrast to the non-CI carbonaceous meteorites and the Ear…
Chemical Diversity of Super-Earths As a Consequence of Formation
Jennifer Scora, Diana Valencia, Alessandro Morbidelli +1
Recent observations of rocky super-Earths have revealed an apparent wider distribution of Fe/Mg ratios, or core to mantle ratios, than the planets in our Solar System. This study a…
