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.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Delivery of icy planetesimals to inner planets in the Proxima Centauri planetary system [PDF]

, 2023
The estimates of the delivery of icy planetesimals from the feeding zone of Proxima Centauri c (with mass equal to 7mE, mE is the mass of the Earth) to inner planets b and d were made.

Neutron Diffraction Evidence for Stress‐Induced Melting of Ice During Deformation of D2O‐Ice Ih—Fluorite Mixtures

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Water ice is an important rock‐forming mineral, both on the Earth and on various extraterrestrial bodies. Naturally occurring ice is often “dirty”–an intimate mixture with harder mineral grains, which can have significant effects on the bulk properties of the aggregate. We have used neutron powder diffraction, with in situ triaxial deformation,

The Formation of Jupiter, the Jovian Early Bombardment and the Delivery of Water to the Asteroid Belt: The Case of (4) Vesta

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

Oxygen isotope variability in the IIIAB iron meteorites and their relationship to main group pallasites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2393-2405, September 2026.
Abstract The light element distribution in planetary cores and the processes driving core evolution in rocky planets are poorly understood. Magmatic iron meteorites are samples from the cores of ancient embryonic planetesimals and therefore provide a window into the processes governing core evolution. We performed high precision oxygen isotope analyses

Erosion of planetesimals by gas flow

, 2020
The first stages of planet formation take place in protoplanetary disks that are largely made up of gas. Understanding how the gas affects planetesimals in the protoplanetary disk is therefore essential.

On the Early Thermal Processing of Planetesimals during and after the Giant Planet Instability

The Planetary Science Journal
Born as ice-rich planetesimals, cometary nuclei were gravitationally scattered onto their current orbits in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud during the giant planets’ dynamical instability in the early stages of our solar system’s history.
