, 2020 In its 16 years of scientific measurements, the Spitzer Space Telescope performed a number of ground breaking and key infrared measurements of Solar System objects near and far. Targets ranged from the smallest planetesimals to the giant planets, and have helped us reform our understanding of these objects while also laying the groundwork for future ...

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.

PENTACARBON DIOXIDE (C5O2) FORMATION AND ITS ROLE AS A TRACER OF SOLAR SYSTEM EVOLUTION
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016 ABSTRACT Carbon monoxide is the second most abundant molecule on icy grains in the interstellar medium. These grains are under the influence of ionizing radiation, which induces the chemical reaction within the ice. Here we report the first observation of subliming pentacarbon dioxide (C5O2) after irradiation of pure carbon monoxide ice ...

Universe, 2022 Questions regarding how primordial or pristine the comets of the solar system are have been an ongoing controversy. In this review, we describe comets’ physical evolution from dust and ice grains in the solar nebula to the contemporary small bodies in ...

The Eons of Chaos and Hades [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2010 We propose the <i>Chaotian Eon</i> to demarcate geologic time from the origin of the Solar System to the Moon-forming impact on Earth. This separates the solar system wide processes of planet formation from the subsequent divergent evolution ...

Mesoscale Structure in the Solar Wind
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Structures in the solar wind result from two basic mechanisms: structures injected or imposed directly by the Sun, and structures formed through processing en route as the solar wind advects outward and fills the heliosphere. On the largest scales, solar
