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.

The Influence of Cold Jupiters in the Formation of Close-in Planets. I. Planetesimal Transport

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The formation of a cold Jupiter (CJ) is expected to quench the influx of pebbles and the migration of cores interior to its orbit, thus limiting the efficiency of rocky planet formation either by pebble accretion and/or orbital migration.

Small Planetesimals in a Massive Disk Formed Mars

open access: yes, 2013
Mars is likely to be a planetary embryo formed through collisions with planetesimals, which can explain its small mass and rapid formation timescale obtained from 182Hf-182$W chronometry. In the classical theory of planet formation, the final embryo mass

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

CONGLOMERATION OF KILOMETER-SIZED PLANETESIMALS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2015
We study the efficiency of forming large bodies, starting from a sea of equal-sized planetesimals. This is likely one of the earlier steps of planet formation and relevant for the formation of the asteroid belt, the Kuiper belt and extra-solar debris disks.

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

open access: yesThe 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.

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 ...

Detailed Calculations of the Efficiency of Planetesimal Accretion in the Core-accretion Model. III. The Contribution of Planetesimals beyond Saturn

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Continuing our initiative on advancing the calculations of planetesimal accretion in the core-accretion model, we present here the results of our recent study of the contributions of planetesimals around and beyond the orbit of Saturn.

Pebble formation by ice condensation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Pebbles with sizes of centimeters to decimeters are needed in order to form kilometer-sized planetesimals, which in turn are needed for planet formation to proceed. The well-studied mechanism of coagulation is efficient only up to millimeter-sized dust

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 ...
