Collisions of Planetesimals and Formation of Planets [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015
AbstractWe present preliminary results of models of terrestrial planet formation using on the one hand classical numerical integration of hundreds of small bodies on CPUs and on the other hand—for comparison—the results of our GPU code with thousands of small bodies which then merge to larger ones.

Mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and redox equilibria in ten aggregate particles from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1905-1927, August 2026.
Abstract Examination of 10 Bennu aggregate particles has revealed the presence of many phases which taken together can provide constraints on the oxygen fugacity (fO2) of Bennu samples. Phyllosilicates (saponite and serpentine), carbonates, oxides (magnetite, chromite), sulfides (pyrrhotite, pentlandite), phosphate (hydroxyapatite, Na‐Mg‐phosphate ...

From planetesimals to planets with N-body simulations in the giant-planet formation region

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The cores of wide-orbit giant planets can form via pebble accretion if large planetesimals form in the outer regions of protoplanetary discs at sufficiently early times.

Evaluating maturity of organic matter in hydrated C1 and CM‐like clasts and a dehydrated clast within a polymict eucrite and a howardite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1965-1993, August 2026.
Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...

The Formation of Planetesimals: Building Bricks for Planetary Systems [PDF]

, 2016
The asteroids and Kuiper Belt objects are left overs of building material for our earth and the other planets in our solar systems from 4.567 billion years ago.

Morpho‐structural analysis of impact craters on Pluto: Implications for the study of complex craters

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1950-1964, August 2026.
Abstract We used Pluto's global digital elevation model to automatically perform a morphometric analysis of impact craters. Triangular irregular networks (TINs) were generated for each crater, providing a detailed representation of crater topography and enabling more accurate morpho‐structural analysis. A dedicated toolkit generated radial profiles for

Origin and formation of a chondritic xenolith in Krymka (LL3.2, breccia): Indications for a late formation of the accretionary breccia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 2016-2047, August 2026.
Abstract An unusual chondritic xenolith was found in two sequentially prepared thin sections of a sample from the Krymka (LL3.2) chondrite. The xenolith has a rounded, slightly deformed shape of about 5 mm in apparent diameter and is partially surrounded by a double rim made of an inner fine‐grained silicate‐rich rim and an outer sulfide‐rich rim.

Terrestrial Planet Formation from Two Source Reservoirs

The Astronomical Journal
This work describes new dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation. The simulations started at the protoplanetary disk stage, when planetesimals formed and accreted into protoplanets, and continued past the late stage of giant impacts.

Dust evolution during protoplanetary disk buildup enhances CO ice relative to water

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Water ice is expected to be the dominant volatile component of bodies formed in the outer Solar System. However, recent observations of comets and trans-Neptunian objects suggest that the relative abundances of ices can vary substantially, with ...

The Bulk Densities of Small Solar System Bodies as a Probe of Planetesimal Formation

The Astrophysical Journal
Constraining the formation processes of small solar system bodies is crucial for gaining insights into planetesimal formation. Their bulk densities, determined by their compressive strengths, offer valuable information about their formation history.
