Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-16, January 2026.
Abstract Analyzing primitive extraterrestrial samples from asteroids is key to understanding the evolution of the early solar system. The OSIRIS‐REx mission returned samples from the B‐type asteroid Bennu, providing a valuable opportunity to compare them with the Ryugu samples collected by the Hayabusa2 mission.

Planetesimal Drift in Eccentric Disks: Possible Outward Migration

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Radial drift of solid particles in the protoplanetary disk is often invoked as a threat to planet formation, as it removes solid material from the disk before it can be assembled into planets.

Deciphering the Origin of the Regular Satellites of Gaseous Giants - Iapetus: the Rosetta Ice-Moon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Here we show that Iapetus can serve to discriminate between satellite formation models. Its accretion history can be understood in terms of a two-component gaseous subnebula, with a relatively dense inner region, and an extended tail out to the location ...

APPLICATION OF GAS DYNAMICAL FRICTION FOR PLANETESIMALS. II. EVOLUTION OF BINARY PLANETESIMALS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT One of the first stages of planet formation is the growth of small planetesimals and their accumulation into large planetesimals and planetary embryos. This early stage occurs long before the dispersal of most of the gas from the protoplanetary disk.

Modeling enstatite chondrites: Reduced rocks with a pinch of oxidized material (affected by varying H2O(g)) derived from planetesimals shocked during the epoch of giant–planet migration

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 122-139, January 2026.
Abstract The O‐, N‐, Mo‐, Ru‐, Os‐, Cr‐, Ti‐, Ni‐, Fe‐, Nd‐, Ca‐, Zn‐, Sr‐, and Mg‐isotopic compositions of enstatite chondrites are essentially identical to those of the Earth and Moon. These correspondences suggest enstatite chondrites formed at ≈1 AU as the only known chondrite groups that accreted in the vicinity of a major planet. Bulk Earth has a

Size–Frequency Distribution of Terrestrial Leftover Planetesimals and S-complex Implanted Asteroids

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The isotopic composition of meteorites linked to S-complex asteroids has been used to suggest that these asteroids originated in the terrestrial planet’s region, i.e., within 1.5 au, and later got implanted into the main asteroid belt (MAB).

Dynamical Stability of Polar Circumbinary Orbits and Planet Formation in the Planetary Disk of 99 Herculis

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
A possible polar-ring debris disk, the dynamics of which can be described by the outer hierarchical restricted three-body problem, has been detected in 99 Herculis.
