Planet formation and the evolution of the Solar System [PDF]

Physica Scripta, 2019
The Capture Theory gives planet production through a tidal interaction between a condensed star and a diffuse protostar within a dense embedded cluster. Initial extensive and highly eccentric planetary orbits round-off and decay in a circumstellar disk of material captured from the protostar.

The TAOS Project: Upper Bounds on the Population of Small KBOs and Tests of Models of Formation and Evolution of the Outer Solar System [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2010
We have analyzed the first 3.75 years of data from TAOS, the Taiwanese American Occultation Survey. TAOS monitors bright stars to search for occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). This dataset comprises 5e5 star-hours of multi-telescope photometric data taken at 4 or 5 Hz. No events consistent with KBO occultations were found in this dataset.

SIGNATURES OF RECENT ASTEROID DISRUPTIONS IN THE FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF SOLAR SYSTEM DUST BANDS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2015
We have performed detailed dynamical modeling of the structure of a faint dust band observed in coadded IRAS data at an ecliptic latitude of 17$^{\circ}$ that convincingly demonstrates that it is the result of a relatively recent (significantly less than 1 Ma) disruption of an asteroid and is still in the process of forming.

The late accretion and erosion of Vesta’s crust recorded by eucrites and diogenites as an astrochemical window into the formation of Jupiter and the early evolution of the Solar System [PDF]

Icarus, 2018
For decades the limited thickness of Vesta's basaltic crust, revealed by the link between the asteroid and the howardite-eucrite-diogenite family of meteorites, and its survival to collisional erosion offered an important constraint for the study of the early evolution of the Solar System.

Chondrule formation and evolution of the early solar system

Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences, 2006
Chondrules are millimeter to sub-millimeter size silicate spherules that formed during localized and transient high-temperature events in the early solar system. Although it is not yet understood how chondrules formed, recent studies have provided important clues in understanding the physical conditions of chondrule formation.

The role of protostellar jets in star formation and the evolution of the early solar system: Astrophysical and meteoritical perspectives [PDF]

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2012
Abstract– The rock record from the early solar system indicates high‐temperature thermal processing sufficient to melt refractory oxides and silicates. The astrophysical context for the formation and evolution of our solar system, from a molecular cloud to a “clean” planetary system, is difficult to constrain tightly because of the large scales and ...

Exoplanet interiors and habitability [PDF]

Advances in Physics: X, 2019
More than 1000 exoplanets with a radius smaller than twice that of the Earth are currently known, mainly thanks to space missions dedicated to the search of exoplanets.

The Origin of Short-lived Radionuclides and the Astrophysical Environment of Solar System Formation [PDF]

, 2008
Based on early solar system abundances of short-lived radionuclides (SRs), such as 26Al (T1/2 = 0.74 Myr) and 60Fe (T1/2 = 1.5 Myr), it is often asserted that the Sun was born in a large stellar cluster, where a massive star contaminated the ...
