Measurements of Dielectric Properties of Chang’E‐5 Lunar Samples

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Chang’E‐5 samples are the youngest lunar materials collected to date. Determining their dielectric properties is essential for understanding the physical characteristics of lunar regolith and refining its dielectric model. In this study, the real part of permittivity and the loss tangent of the Chang’E‐5 samples were systematically ...

The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS)

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Dusty discs detected around main-sequence stars are thought to be signs of planetesimal belts in which the dust distribution is shaped by collisional and dynamical processes, including interactions with gas if present. The debris disc around the

A Lagrangian Model for Dust Evolution in Protoplanetary Disks: Formation of Wet and Dry Planetesimals at Different Stellar Masses

open access: yes, 2018
We introduce a new Lagrangian smooth-particle method to model the growth and drift of pebbles in protoplanetary disks. The Lagrangian nature of the model makes it especially suited to follow characteristics of individual (groups of) particles, such as ...

Transience of hot dust around sun-like stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
There is currently debate over whether the dust content of planetary systems is stochastically regenerated or originates in planetesimal belts evolving in steady state.

Dynamics and accretion of planetesimals [PDF]

open access: yesProgress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2012
We review the basic dynamics and accretion of planetesimals by showing N-body simulations. The orbits of planetesimals evolve through two-body gravitational relaxation: viscous stirring increases the random velocity and dynamical friction realizes the equiparation of the random energy.

Geochemical and petrographic re‐evaluation of ungrouped iron meteorites from Western Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 444-465, March 2026.
Abstract Under the current classification scheme, ungrouped irons make up ~11% of all recognized iron meteorites. A further ~7% of iron meteorites are currently classified as simply “irons” and are yet to be fully classified. To potentially classify these meteorites, newer approaches, including either statistical modeling or advanced geochemical ...

Streaming Instability and Turbulence: Conditions for Planetesimal Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The streaming instability (SI) is a leading candidate for planetesimal formation, which can concentrate solids through two-way aerodynamic interactions with the gas.

Impact‐Generated Mixing, Melting and Vaporization of the Early Earth's Crust

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Earth's primary accretion was followed by a protracted flux of interplanetary collisions by leftover planetesimals. The effects of the largest collisions—with bodies possibly exceeding 1,000 km diameter—would have been devastating for terrestrial near‐surface environments.

Formation of Multiple Dynamical Classes in the Kuiper Belt via Disk Dissipation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Planetesimal formation likely lasted for millions of years in the solar nebula, and the cold classicals in the Kuiper Belt are suggested to be the direct products of streaming instability.

On the dynamics and collisional growth of planetesimals in misaligned binary systems

open access: yes, 2011
Context. Abridged. Many stars are members of binary systems. During early phases when the stars are surrounded by discs, the binary orbit and disc midplane may be mutually inclined.
