The Enceladian crater production function
E. W. Wong, S. C. Werner, M. R. Kirchoff +1
Interpreting Enceladus's past and present surface history and interior state remains challenging, owing to uncertain prescription of its impact bombardment history and limited inte…
Impact chronology of leftover planetesimals
R. Brasser
After the formation of the Moon the terrestrial planets were pummelled by impacts from planetesimals left over from terrestrial planet formation. This work attempts to reproduce th…
The current cratering rate on the regular satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus
R. Brasser, E. W. Wong, S. C. Werner
We aim to compute the impact rates for objects with a diameter of 1 km onto the regular satellites of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus using our latest dynamical simulations of the evolu…
Forming Earth-like and Low-Mass Rocky Exoplanets Through Pebble and Planetesimal Accretion
Mitchell John Yzer, Ramon Brasser, Inge Loes ten Kate
The theory of planet formation through pebble accretion (PA) has gained in popularity over the past decade. Most PA studies start with planetary embryos much larger than those expe…
Terrestrial planet formation during giant planet formation and giant planet migration I: The first 5 million years
R. Brasser
Terrestrial planet formation (TPF) is a difficult problem that has vexed researchers for decades. Numerical models are only partially successful at reproducing the orbital architec…
Giant planet formation in the solar system
Anuja Raorane, Ramon Brasser, Soko Matsumura +3
The formation history of Jupiter has been of interest due to its ability to shape the solar system's history. Yet little attention has been paid to the formation and growth of Satu…
Can the giant planets of the Solar System form via pebble accretion in a smooth protoplanetary disc?
Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Man Hoi Lee, Ramon Brasser +1
Prevailing -body planet formation models typically start with lunar-mass embryos and show a general trend of rapid migration of massive planetary cores to the inner Solar System…
Saturn's ancient regular satellites
Emily. W. Wong, Ramon Brasser, Stephanie. C. Werner +1
Are Saturn's regular satellites young or old? And how old are Enceladus' cratered plains? To answer these questions we computed model surface ages of the most heavily cratered terr…
Impact bombardment on the regular satellites of Jupiter and Uranus during an episode of giant planet migration
E. W. Wong, R. Brasser, S. C. Werner
The intensity and effects of early impact bombardment on the major satellites of the giant planets during an episode of giant planet migration is still poorly known. We use a combi…
Jupiter's influence on the building blocks of Mars and Earth
R. Brasser, N. Dauphas, S. J. Mojzsis
Radiometric dating indicates that Mars accreted in the first ~4 Myr of solar system formation, which coincides with the formation and possible migration of Jupiter. While nebular g…
The terrestrial late veneer from core disruption of a lunar-sized impactor
H. Genda, R. Brasser, S. J. Mojzsis
Overabundances in highly siderophile elements (HSEs) of Earth's mantle can be explained by conveyance from a singular, immense (3000 km in a diameter) "Late Veneer" impactor of cho…
A colossal impact enriched Mars' mantle with noble metals
R. Brasser, S. J. Mojzsis
Once the terrestrial planets had mostly completed their assembly, bombardment continued by planetesimals left-over from accretion. Highly siderophile element (HSE) abundances in Ma…
Late veneer and late accretion to the terrestrial planets
R. Brasser, S. J. Mojzsis, S. C. Werner +2
It is generally accepted that silicate-metal (`rocky') planet formation relies on coagulation from a mixture of sub-Mars sized planetary embryos and (smaller) planetesimals that dy…
Tilting Saturn without tilting Jupiter: Constraints on giant planet migration
R. Brasser, Man Hoi Lee
The migration and encounter histories of the giant planets in our Solar System can be constrained by the obliquities of Jupiter and Saturn. We have performed secular simulations wi…
A dynamical study on the habitability of terrestrial exoplanets I: Tidally evolved planet-satellite pairs
R. Brasser, S. Ida, E. Kokubo
We investigate the obliquity and spin period of Earth-Moon like systems after 4.5 Gyr of tidal evolution with various satellite masses and initial planetary obliquity and discuss t…
