Giant planet formation in the Solar System

Icarus
The formation of gas giants has greatly influenced the structure of our solar system while their evolution has played a crucial role in shaping its history. Consequently, the growth of Jupiter has been studied quite extensively. However, little attention has been paid to Saturn and the other giants in the outer solar system.Here we explore, through 𝑁 ...

Solar sail mission applications and future advancement [PDF]

, 2010
Solar sailing has long been envisaged as an enabling technology. The promise of open-ended missions allows consideration of radically new trajectories and the delivery of spacecraft to previously unreachable or unsustainable observation outposts.

The Solar System Beyond The Planets [PDF]

, 2006
The Kuiper belt contains a vast number of objects in a flattened, ring-like volume beyond the orbit of Neptune. These objects are collisionally processed relics from the accretion disk of the Sun and, as such, they can reveal much about early conditions in the Solar system.

Main Belt Comets and other “Interlopers” in the Solar System

Universe, 2022
According to traditional ideas about the formation of the Solar System starting from a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust, a well-defined distribution of planets and minor bodies is expected: (a) volatile-poor rocky bodies (terrestrial planets and ...

EVIDENCE FOR A DISTANT GIANT PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT Recent analyses have shown that distant orbits within the scattered disk population of the Kuiper Belt exhibit an unexpected clustering in their respective arguments of perihelion. While several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this alignment, to date, a theoretical model that can successfully account for the ...

Life at the end of worlds : modelling the biosignatures of microbial life in diverse environments at the end of the habitable lifetimes of Earth-like planets [PDF]

, 2014
This thesis investigates how increased global mean temperatures on Earth, induced by the increase in the luminosity of the Sun as it ages, change the types of habitable environments on the planet at local scales over the next 3 Gyr.

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

, 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.

The Possibility of Mirror Planet as Planet Nine in Solar System

, 2022
A series of dynamical anomalies in the orbits of distant trans-Neptunian objects points to a new celestial body (usually named Planet Nine) in the solar system. In this draft, we point out that a mirror planet captured from the outer solar system or formed in the solar system is also a possible candidate.
