Planet Formation

2012
Astrobiology is an exciting interdisciplinary field that seeks to answer one of the most important and profound questions: are we alone? In this volume, leading international experts explore the frontiers of astrobiology, investigating the latest research questions that will fascinate a wide interdisciplinary audience at all levels.

The formation of the planets

Icarus, 1968
Abstract The possibility of formating a planetary system, starting from a diffuse rotating cloud of gas and dust, as a result of accretion by a proto-Sun is investigated. It is found that a ring of relatively high density is formed in the equatorial plane of the proto-Sun gas cloud system.

Formation and Evolution of Planets

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1994
The basic stages of the formation of the planets are considered. Decay of turbulence in the solar nebula allows the precipitation of dust particles to the solar nebula’s equatorial plane, their growth occurring by sticking at collisions and transformation into kilometer-sized bodies (planetesimals) partly by direct growth and partly via gravitational ...

Formation of the planets

Vistas in Astronomy, 1980
Abstract There are discussed briefly the following topics concerning the formation of the planets: 1.Formation of the protoplanetary nebula from a rotating interstellar magnetic cloud 2.The mass and temperature distribution in the protoplanetary nebula 3.The formation of planets by colliding planetesimals and by gas accretion 4.The distances, spin ...

Formation of the terrestrial planets

Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1994
The early phases of formation in the inner solar system were dominated by collisions and short-range dynamical interactions among planetesimals. But the later phases, which account for most of the differences among planets, are unsure because the dynamics are more subtle. Jupiter’s influence became more important, leading to drastic clearing out of the

Planet Formation

2007
The origin of the Sun's planetary system is a long-standing problem but one whose solution may be in sight. Recent progress has been rapid and much has changed since the first edition of this book. This article will describe a reasonably coherent story for the formation of the planets, based on what people know today, with the obvious caveat that ...

The Formation of Planets

2001
This chapter presents the main characteristics of the formation scenario of the solar system. The fist sections summarize the observational constaints and the input of stellar physics, and reviewprevious formation models. The next section describes the currently accepted model, based on the collapse of a protoplanetary nebula into a disk and the ...

Formation of the Outer Planets

Space Science Reviews, 2005
Models of the origins of gas giant planets and ‘ice’ giant planets are discussed and related to formation theories of both smaller objects (terrestrial planets) and larger bodies (stars). The most detailed models of planetary formation are based upon observations of our own Solar System, of young stars and their environments, and of extrasolar planets.
