Solar System Smashup

Scientific American, 2023
The article focuses on alternative views on the formation of the solar system as a result of analysis of meteors which suggest a more chaotic formation than older solar system models suggested. It commented on the discovery of meteors that are partially differentiated and harbored signs of an ancient magnetic field in the rock.

Water in the Solar System

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2008
Water is ubiquitous in the Universe, and also in the Solar System. By setting the snow line at its condensation level in the protosolar disk, water was responsible for separating the planets into the terrestrial and the giant ones. Water ice is a major constituent of the comets and the small bodies of the outer Solar System, and water vapor is found ...

The Early Solar System

2010
This chapter presents a (partial) review of the information we can derive on the early history of the Solar System from radioactive nuclei of very different half-life, which were recognized to have been present alive in pristine solids. In fact, radioactivities open for us a unique window on the evolution of the solar nebula and provide tools for ...

Formation of the Solar System

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1986
Prentice (1978a, b), in his modern Laplacian theory of the origin of the solar system, has established a scenario in which he finds the ratio of the orbital radii of successively disposed gaseous rings to be a constant ⋍ 1.69. In an attempt to understand this law in an alternative way, Rawal (1984a) assumes that during the collapse of the solar nebula ...

The Solar System

2016
Our Solar System has one star, the Sun, in the center. The Sun is the only significant source of light which is generated deep in the interior of the Sun by nuclear reactions. The other major bodies in the system are the planets, too small to have the high temperature and pressure to initiate nuclear reactions inside them.

The origin of the solar system

1928
The first attempt to apply dynamical principles to the problem of the origin of our planetary system was by Edouard Roche, in 1854. His procedure was to make more specific the Nebular Hypothesis, which had been stated in a very indefinite qualitative form in a popular work by Laplace.
