Simultaneous formation of solar system giant planets [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2011
In the last few years, the so-called "Nice model" has got a significant importance in the study of the formation and evolution of the solar system. According to this model, the initial orbital configuration of the giant planets was much more compact than the one we observe today.

Are There Terrestrial Planets Lurking in the Outer Solar System?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Motivated by recent measurements of the free-floating-planet mass function at terrestrial masses, we consider the possibility that the solar system may have captured a terrestrial planet early in its history.

Giant Planet Observations in NASA’s Planetary Data System

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
While there have been far fewer missions to the outer Solar System than to the inner Solar System, spacecraft destined for the giant planets have conducted a wide range of fundamental investigations, returning data that continues to reshape our ...

Chemical Convection and Stratification in the Earth's Outer Core

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Convection in the Earth's outer core is driven by buoyancy sources of both thermal and compositional origin. The thermal and compositional molecular diffusivities differ by several orders of magnitude, which can affect the dynamics in various ways.

Weather conditions and weather forecast on the planets of the solar system based on the behavior of Rossby waves [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2010
Out of all atmospheric processes on the planets of the Solar System, special attention will be devoted here to leading circulation of planetary or global scales, known as Rossby waves.

Transport Characteristics of the Electrification and Lightning of the Gas Mixture Representing the Atmospheres of the Solar System Planets

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
Electrification represents a fundamental process in planetary atmospheres, widespread in the Solar System. The atmospheres of the terrestrial planets (Venus, Earth, and Mars) range from thin to thick are rich in heavier gases and gaseous compounds, such ...

The Fundamental Connections between the Solar System and Exoplanetary Science [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Over the past several decades, thousands of planets have been discovered outside our Solar System. These planets exhibit enormous diversity, and their large numbers provide a statistical opportunity to place our Solar System within the broader context of

A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hitherto, rings have been found exclusively around the four giant planets in the Solar System1. Rings are natural laboratories in which to study dynamical processes analogous to those that take place during the formation of planetary systems and galaxies.

SPECIFICATION OF LIMITS OF POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF SATELLITES IN THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD OF PLANETS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
It is known that the satellites of the planets may exist in the area, which is bounded on one side by Rocha limit, on the other – Hill sphere. The article deals with the determination of the Rocha limits and Hill sphere of satellites of some planets in ...
