Organics in the solar system [PDF]
Complex organics are now commonly found in meteorites, comets, asteroids, planetary satellites, and interplanetary dust particles. The chemical composition and possible origin of these organics are presented. Specifically, we discuss the possible link between Solar System organics and the complex organics synthesized during the late stages of stellar ...

The formation of the solar system [PDF]
The solar system started to form about 4.56 Gyr ago and despite the long intervening time span, there still exist several clues about its formation. The three major sources for this information are meteorites, the present solar system structure and the planet-forming systems around young stars.

Is there an exoplanet in the Solar system? [PDF]
Abstract We investigate the prospects for the capture of the proposed Planet 9 from other stars in the Sun's birth cluster. Any capture scenario must satisfy three conditions: the encounter must be more distant than ∼150 au to avoid perturbing the Kuiper belt; the other star must have a wide-orbit planet (a ≳ 100 au); the planet must be ...

THE SOLAR SYSTEM AS AN EXOPLANETARY SYSTEM [PDF]
With the availability of considerably more data, we revisit the question of how special our Solar System is, compared to observed exoplanetary systems. To this goal, we employ a mathematical transformation that allows for a meaningful, statistical comparison.

The origin of the solar system [PDF]
The astronomer of to-day has at his disposal telescopes which range in aperture from his naked eye, of aperture about one-fifth of an inch, up to the giant Mount Wilson telescope of more than 100 inches. If we lived in the midst of a uniform infinite field of stars, or in a field which was uniform as far as our telescopes could reach, the numbers of ...

The outer solar system extends beyond a heliocentric distance of 5 AU. It contains the giant planets and their systems (rings and satellites), the Kuiper belt, the comets (except those which approach episodically the inner solar system) and, at its outer edge, the Oort cloud.

Abstract We model the early stages of planet formation in the solar system, including continual planetesimal formation, and planetesimal and pebble accretion onto planetary embryos in an evolving disk driven by a disk wind. The aim is to constrain aspects of planet formation that have large uncertainties by matching key characteristics ...
