Zirconium isotope composition indicates s‐process depletion in samples returned from asteroid Ryugu
Abstract Nucleosynthetic isotope variations are powerful tracers to determine genetic relationships between meteorites and planetary bodies. They can help to link material collected by space missions to known meteorite groups. The Hayabusa 2 mission returned samples from the Cb‐type asteroid (162173) Ryugu.

Kaleidoscope of irradiated disks: MUSE observations of proplydsin the Orion Nebula Cluster. I. Sample presentation and ionization front sizes [PDF]
In the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), protoplanetary disks exhibit ionized gas clouds in the form of a striking teardrop shape as massive stars irradiate the disk material.

Towards Initial Mass Functions for Asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects
Our goal is to understand primary accretion of the first planetesimals. The primitive meteorite record suggests that sizeable planetesimals formed in the asteroid belt over a period longer than a million years, each composed entirely of an unusual, but ...

The effect of a planet on the dust distribution in a 3D protoplanetary disk [PDF]
Aims: We investigate the behaviour of dust in protoplanetary disks under the action of gas drag in the presence of a planet. Our goal is twofold: to determine the spatial distribution of dust depending on grain size and planet mass, and therefore to ...

Magma Ocean Evolution at Arbitrary Redox State
Abstract Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the solidification of oxidized Earth‐similar planets, but the diversity in mean density and irradiation observed in the low ...

Hybrid Mechanisms for Gas/Ice Giant Planet Formation [PDF]
The effects of gas pressure gradients on the motion of solid grains in the solar nebula substantially enhances the efficiency of forming protoplanetary cores in the standard core accretion model in 'hybrid' scenarios for gas/ice giant planet formation.

Modeling the Jovian subnebula: I - Thermodynamical conditions and migration of proto-satellites [PDF]
We have developed an evolutionary turbulent model of the Jovian subnebula consistent with the extended core accretion formation models of Jupiter described by Alibert et al. (2005b) and derived from Alibert et al. (2004,2005a).

Minimum Mass Solar Nebulae and Planetary Migration [PDF]
The Minimum Mass Solar Nebula (MMSN) is a protoplanetary disk that contains the minimum amount of solids necessary to build the planets of the Solar System. Assuming that the giant planets formed in the compact configuration they have at the beginning of the "Nice model", Desch (2007) built a new MMSN.

Mixing in the Solar Nebula: Implications for Isotopic Heterogeneity and Large-Scale Transport of Refractory Grains [PDF]
The discovery of refractory grains amongst the particles collected from Comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft (Brownlee et al. 2006) provides the ground truth for large-scale transport of materials formed in high temperature regions close to the ...

Differences in elemental abundances between CI chondrites and the solar photosphere
Abstract CI chondrites have been a proxy for the solar system since the mid‐20th century. The photospheric and CI chondrite abundances (P and CI, respectively) show a strong correlation. CI as a proxy is also justified by the (i) smoothness of their abundances plotted as a function of odd mass number and (ii) agreement within the error of P as ...
