Planetesimal-driven planet migration in the presence of a gas disk

open access: yes, 2010
We report here on an extension of a previous study by Kirsh et al. (2009) of planetesimal-driven migration using our N-body code SyMBA (Duncan et al., 1998). The previous work focused on the case of a single planet of mass Mem, immersed in a planetesimal

Fast Radio Bursts and Interstellar Objects

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are transient radio events with millisecond-scale durations and debated origins. Collisions between planetesimals and neutron stars (NSs) have been proposed as a mechanism to produce FRBs; the planetesimal strength, size, and ...

Estimating the mass of the debris disc in HD 69830

open access: yes, 2011
We present a method to estimate the mass of the debris disc in the HD 69830 system, which also hosts three exoplanets with Neptune-like minimum masses. By considering the range of published stellar ages, we interpret the infrared emission from the debris

Low‐Frequency Raman Spectra of Natural Pyrrhotites: Polarization Dependence for Its Lattice Modes

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 12, Page 1529-1536, December 2025.
The present study found low‐wavenumber Raman modes of pyrrhotite Fe1‐xS at ~68, ~87, ~117, and ~230 cm−1 for the first time, thanks to a lab‐built Raman spectrometer, in which the optical path of the incident laser was purged by Ar gas. The sufficiently high signal‐to‐noise and signal‐to‐base ratios enabled us to obtain the polarization dependence of ...

Origin of Isotopic Diversity among Carbonaceous Chondrites

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Carbonaceous chondrites are some of the most primitive meteorites and derive from planetesimals that formed a few million years after the beginning of the solar system.

Metallicity of the Massive Protoplanets Around HR 8799 If Formed by Gravitational Instability

open access: yes, 2009
The final composition of giant planets formed as a result of gravitational instability in the disk gas depends on their ability to capture solid material (planetesimals) during their 'pre-collapse' stage, when they are extended and cold, and contracting ...

TWO BEYOND-PRIMITIVE EXTRASOLAR PLANETESIMALS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2013
Using the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we have obtained high-resolution ultraviolet observations of GD 362 and PG 1225-079, two helium-dominated, externally-polluted white dwarfs. We determined or placed useful upper limits on the abundances of two key volatile elements, carbon and sulfur, in both stars; we also ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

A Solution for the Density Dichotomy Problem of Kuiper Belt Objects with Multispecies Streaming Instability and Pebble Accretion

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) show an unexpected trend, whereby large bodies have increasingly higher densities, up to five times greater than their smaller counterparts. Current explanations for this trend assume formation at constant composition, with the
