Planetesimals on eccentric orbits erode rapidly
, 2021 We investigate the possibility of erosion of planetesimals in a protoplanetary disk. We use theory and direct numerical simulations (Lattice Boltzmann Method) to calculate the erosion of large -- much larger than the mean-free-path of gas molecules ...

The fate of planetesimals formed at planetary gap edges
, 2021 The presence of rings and gaps in protoplanetary disks are often ascribed to planet–disk interactions, where dust and pebbles are trapped at the edges of planetary-induced gas gaps.

Kozai effect on planetesimal accretion in highly inclined binaries
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Planet formation in highly inclined binaries is a complex issue. The Kozai mechanism plays an important role in this situation, since it will lead to high eccentricity and high relative impact velocity of planetesimals, thus hinder the planetesimal ...

Numerical simulations for terrestrial planets formation
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 We investigate the formation of terrestrial planets in the late stage of planetary formation using two-planet model. At that time, the protostar has formed for about 3 Myr and the gas disk has dissipated.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract This study provides the first petrographic, crystallographic, and chemical comparison between El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155), two particular IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites. Both contain exceptionally large graphite nodules and “flowers”, providing unique insights into carbon behavior in metallic melts and cooling ...

Magnetic Field Evolution in Terrestrial Bodies from Planetesimals to Exoplanets
, 2019 Space missions have shown that most terrestrial bodies have an internally generated magnetic field in their metallic core and/or a crustal field due to remanent magnetism. The latter indicates the presence of an old dynamo at the time of crust formation.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Near‐Earth rubble‐pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu are part of the carbonaceous taxonomic complex (C‐complex), and samples returned from both bodies resemble the most aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites. However, telescopic and spacecraft visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) reflectance spectra of Ryugu exhibit a red (positive) spectral slope ...

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.
