The "Breaking The Chains" migration model for super-Earths formation: the effect of collisional fragmentation
Leandro Esteves, André Izidoro, Bertram Bitsch +4
Planets between 1-4 Earth radii with orbital periods <100 days are strikingly common. The migration model proposes that super-Earths migrate inwards and pile up at the disk inner e…
Barrel Instability in Binary Asteroids
Matija Ćuk, Seth A. Jacobson, Kevin J. Walsh
Most close-in planetary satellites are in synchronous rotation, which is usually the stable end-point of tidal despinning. Saturn's moon Hyperion is a notable exception by having a…
The Excited Spin State of Dimorphos Resulting from the DART Impact
Harrison F. Agrusa, Ioannis Gkolias, Kleomenis Tsiganis +12
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is a planetary defense-driven test of a kinetic impactor on Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos.…
The Effect of Inefficient Accretion on Planetary Differentiation
Saverio Cambioni, Seth A. Jacobson, Alexandre Emsenhuber +5
Pairwise collisions between terrestrial embryos are the dominant means of accretion during the last stage of planet formation. Hence, their realistic treatment in N-body studies is…
How Sublimation Delays the Onset of Dusty Debris Disk Formation Around White Dwarf Stars
Jordan K. Steckloff, John Debes, Amy Steele +4
Although numerous white dwarf stars host dusty debris disks, the temperature distribution of these stars differs significantly from the white dwarf population as a whole. Dusty deb…
Quantitative estimates of impact induced crustal erosion during accretion and its influence on the Sm/Nd ratio of the Earth
Laetitia Allibert, Sébastien Charnoz, Julien Siebert +2
Dynamical scenarios of terrestrial planets formation involve strong perturbations of the inner part of the solar system by the giant-planets, leading to enhanced impact velocities…
