Chaotic Evolution of the Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1992
The evolution of the entire planetary system has been numerically integrated for a time span of nearly 100 million years. This calculation confirms that the evolution of the solar system as a whole is chaotic, with a time scale of exponential divergence of about 4 million years. Additional numerical experiments indicate that the Jovian planet subsystem

Dynamical Evolution of the Early Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018
Several properties of the Solar System, including the wide radial spacing of the giant planets, can be explained if planets radially migrated by exchanging orbital energy and momentum with outer disk planetesimals. Neptune's planetesimal-driven migration, in particular, has a strong advocate in the dynamical structure of the Kuiper belt.

Formation of Comets

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Questions regarding how primordial or pristine the comets of the solar system are have been an ongoing controversy. In this review, we describe comets’ physical evolution from dust and ice grains in the solar nebula to the contemporary small bodies in ...

The Dynamical Consequences of a Super-Earth in the Solar System

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Placing the architecture of the solar system within the broader context of planetary architectures is one of the primary topics of interest within planetary science. Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a large range of system architectures, many of which

Effective Reaction Temperatures of Irreversible Dust Chemical Reactions in a Protoplanetary Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Dust particles in protoplanetary disks experience various chemical reactions under different physicochemical conditions through their accretion and diffusion, which results in the radial chemical gradient of dust.

Solar System Physics for Exoplanet Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our understanding of the cosmos — the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just one planetary system (the solar system), we now know of thousands, with new systems

Mesoscale Structure in the Solar Wind

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Structures in the solar wind result from two basic mechanisms: structures injected or imposed directly by the Sun, and structures formed through processing en route as the solar wind advects outward and fills the heliosphere. On the largest scales, solar

Transport of cross helicity and radial evolution of alfvenicity in the solar wind [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A transport theory including cross helicity, magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) turbulence, and driving by shear and pickup ions, is applied to the radial evolution of the solar wind.
