Massive Protostellar Disks as a Hot Laboratory of Silicate Grain Evolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Typical accretion disks around massive protostars are hot enough for water ice to sublimate. We here propose to utilize the massive protostellar disks for investigating the collisional evolution of silicate grains with no ice mantle, which is an ...

Phyllosilicate Infrared Spectral Features as Tracers of Aqueous Alteration in CM Chondrites and Implications for Remote Sensing of Hydrated Asteroids

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract CM (Mighei‐type) carbonaceous chondrites host abundant OH/H2O‐bearing phyllosilicates formed from water‐rock reactions in primitive planetesimals. Their infrared (IR) spectral features resemble those of C‐type asteroids, making laboratory analyses of CMs essential for interpreting asteroid observations.

Formation of the First Planetesimals via the Streaming Instability in Globally Turbulent Protoplanetary Disks?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using self-consistent models of turbulent particle growth in an evolving protoplanetary nebula of solar composition, we find that recently proposed local metallicity and Stokes number criteria necessary for the streaming instability to generate ...

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

PLANETARY MIGRATION IN EVOLVING PLANETESIMAL DISKS [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2003
In the current paper, we further improved the model for the migration of planets introduced and extended to time-dependent planetesimal accretion disks by Del Popolo. In the current study, the assumption of Del Popolo, that the surface density in planetesimals is proportional to that of gas, is relaxed. In order to obtain the evolution of planetesimal

Terrestrial Planet Formation from Two Source Reservoirs

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
This work describes new dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation. The simulations started at the protoplanetary disk stage, when planetesimals formed and accreted into protoplanets, and continued past the late stage of giant impacts.
