Life, 2014 The asteroid (4) Vesta, parent body of the Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite meteorites, is one of the first bodies that formed, mostly from volatile-depleted material, in the Solar System. The Dawn mission recently provided evidence that hydrated material was

A Long‐Lived Planetesimal Dynamo Powered by Core Crystallization
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The existence of numerous iron meteorite groups indicates that some planetesimals underwent melting that led to metal‐silicate segregation, sometimes producing metallic cores.

The Formation of Planetesimals
The Astrophysical Journal, 1973 Four stages in the accretion of planetesimals are described. The initial stage is the condensation of dust particles from the gaseous solar nebula as it cools. These dust particles settle into a thin disk which is gravitationally unstable. A first generation of planetesimals, whose radii range up to about 0.1 km, form from the dust disk by direct ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.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 ...

Rapid Dust Growth during Hydrodynamic Clumping due to Streaming Instability
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Streaming instability is considered to be one of the dominant processes in promoting planetesimal formation by the gravitational collapse of dust clumps.

The unexpected narrowness of eccentric debris rings: a sign of eccentricity during the protoplanetary disc phase [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 This paper shows that the eccentric debris rings seen around the stars Fomalhaut and HD 202628 are narrower than expected in the standard eccentric planet perturbation scenario (sometimes referred to as ‘pericentre glow’). The standard scenario posits an

Morpho‐structural analysis of impact craters on Pluto: Implications for the study of complex craters
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.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

Modeling Carbon Outgassing from Chondritic Planetesimals
The Planetary Science JournalThe thermochemical evolution of planetesimals is an underprobed stage of volatile delivery to terrestrial planets during their formation, and may contribute to the volatile depletion of the Earth relative to primitive chondrites.
