Models of Giant Planet formation with migration and disc evolution
We present a new model of giant planet formation that extends the core-accretion model of Pollack etal (1996) to include migration, disc evolution and gap formation.

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects
Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in

Among the various observational techniques used for the detection of large bolides on a global scale is a low-frequency sound known as infrasound. Infrasound, which is also one of the four sensing modalities used by the International Monitoring System ...

Carbon source from limestone target by impact reaction at the K/T Boundary [PDF]
Carbon found at the K/T geological boundaries can be explained by impact reaction between the K/T bolides and limestone target rocks, which are proved by other natural and artificial ...

How effective are methods for estimating bolide energies from infrasound signal period-yield relationships? A single global period–energy relation can obscure significant variability introduced by parameters such as the atmospheric Doppler wind profile ...

Apache Point Rapid Response Characterization of Primitive Imminent Impactor 2024 RW1
Imminent impactors may be detected only a few hours before their impact with Earth, providing a brief opportunity to characterize them before impact. We describe the characterization of imminent impactor 2024 RW _1 , which was discovered by the Catalina ...

Meteoroid capture cell construction [PDF]
A thin membrane covering the open side of a meteoroid capture cell causes an impacting meteoroid to disintegrate as it penetrates the membrane.

Impact craters on Venus: An overview from Magellan observations [PDF]
Magellan has revealed an ensemble of impact craters on Venus that is unique in many important ways. We have compiled a database describing 842 craters on 89 percent of the planet's surface mapped through orbit 2578 (the craters range in diameter from 1.5

Fireballs (bolides) are high-energy luminous phenomena produced when meteoroids and small asteroids enter Earth’s atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, often resulting in fragmentation or complete disintegration accompanied by significant energy release.
