Asteroids Fail to Retain Cometary Impact Signatures

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
A bombardment of comets is thought to have occurred in the inner solar system as a result of a dynamical instability among the giant planets after gas disk dispersal.

Scaling, Mirror Symmetries and Musical Consonances Among the Distances of the Planets of the Solar System

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Orbital systems are often self-organized and/or characterized by harmonic relations. Inspired by music theory, we rewrite the Geddes and King-Hele (QJRAS, 24, 10–13, 1983) equations for mirror symmetries among the distances of the planets of the Solar ...

Structure of possible long-lived asteroid belts [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002
High resolution simulations are used to map out the detailed structure of two long-lived stable belts of asteroid orbits in the inner Solar system. The Vulcanoid belt extends from 0.09 to 0.20 astronomical units (au), though with a gaps at 0.15 and 0.18 au corresponding to de-stabilising mean motion resonances with Mercury and Venus.

Modeling enstatite chondrites: Reduced rocks with a pinch of oxidized material (affected by varying H2O(g)) derived from planetesimals shocked during the epoch of giant–planet migration

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 122-139, January 2026.
Abstract The O‐, N‐, Mo‐, Ru‐, Os‐, Cr‐, Ti‐, Ni‐, Fe‐, Nd‐, Ca‐, Zn‐, Sr‐, and Mg‐isotopic compositions of enstatite chondrites are essentially identical to those of the Earth and Moon. These correspondences suggest enstatite chondrites formed at ≈1 AU as the only known chondrite groups that accreted in the vicinity of a major planet. Bulk Earth has a

Effects of asteroid belt and oblateness on the stability and orbits near triangular Lagrange points

open access: yesResults in Physics
This study investigates the dynamics of an infinitesimal body within the context of the restricted three-body problem, incorporating perturbations arising from the asteroid belt and the oblateness effects of the three bodies.

Lightcurve survey of V-type asteroids in the inner asteroid belt [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2014
Abstract We observed the lightcurves of 13 V-type asteroids [(1933) Tinchen, (2011) Veteraniya, (2508) Alupka, (3657) Ermolova, (3900) Knezevic, (4005) Dyagilev, (4383) Suruga, (4434) Nikulin, (4796) Lewis, (6331) 1992 FZ1, (8645) 1998 TN, (10285) Renemichelsen, and (10320) Reiland].

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

Catalog of Proper Orbits for 1.25 Million Main-belt Asteroids and Discovery of 136 New Collisional Families

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The proper elements of asteroids are obtained from the instantaneous orbital elements by removing periodic oscillations produced by gravitational interactions with planets.

Reconstructing the size distribution of the primordial Main Belt

open access: yes, 2017
In this work we aim to constrain the slope of the size distribution of main-belt asteroids, at their primordial state. To do so we turn out attention to the part of the main asteroid belt between 2.82 and 2.96~AU, the so-called "pristine zone", which has

DYNAMICAL EFFECTS FROM ASTEROID BELTS FOR PLANETARY SYSTEMS [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2004
The orbital evolution and stability of planetary systems with interaction from the belts is studied using the standard phase-plane analysis. In addition to the fixed point which corresponds to the Keplerian orbit, there are other fixed points around the inner and outer edges of the belt.
