Was Earth’s Water Acquired Locally during the Earliest Phases of the Solar System Formation?

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The origin of the terrestrial water remains debated, as standard solar system formation models suggest that Earth formed from dry grains, inside the snowline of the protosolar nebula (PSN).

The birth environment of planetary systems [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2020
Star and planet formation are inextricably linked. In the earliest phases of the collapse of a protostar, a disc forms around the young star and such discs are observed for the first several million years of a star’s life.

Insights on the Sun Birth Environment in the Context of Star Cluster Formation in Hub–Filament Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Cylindrical molecular filaments are observed to be the main sites of Sunlike star formation, while massive stars form in dense hubs at the junction of multiple filaments.

The Fine‐Scale Magnetic History of the Allende Meteorite: Implications for the Structure of the Solar Nebula

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2021
Magnetic fields in the early solar system may have driven the inward accretion of the protoplanetary disk (PPD) and generated instabilities that led to the formation of planets and ring and gap structures.

Surface Volatile Composition as Evidence for Hydrothermal Processes Lasting Longer in Triton’s Interior than Pluto’s

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Ocean worlds, or icy bodies in the outer solar system that have or once had subsurface liquid water oceans, are among the most compelling topics of astrobiology.

Early Water Delivery to Terrestrial Planet Regions during the Stages of Jupiter’s Formation and Migration in the Grand Tack Model

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The formation and subsequent migration of gas giants could significantly affect the material mixing in the solar system. In this study, we use N -body simulations to investigate how much water is transported into the region of the terrestrial planet ...

Evidence for Enrichment of Niobium-92 in the Outer Protosolar Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The short-lived radionuclide, niobium-92 ( ^92 Nb), has been used to estimate the site of nucleosynthesis for p- nuclei and the timing of planetary differentiation, assuming that it was uniformly distributed in the early solar system.

Dynamics, Deployment and Retrieval Strategy for Satellite-Sail Transverse Formation with Model Inaccuracy

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
One of the important applications of the space tethered system is formation flying. To satisfy the requirement for interferometry of ground targets by remote-sensing satellites, a new type of tethered solar sail spacecraft has been proposed in recent ...

Making the Solar System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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.
