A Resonant Beginning for the Solar System’s Terrestrial Planets
The Astrophysical JournalAbstract In the past two decades, transit surveys have revealed a class of planets with thick atmospheres—sub-Neptunes—that must have completed their accretion in protoplanet disks. When planets form in the gaseous disk, the gravitational interaction with the disk gas drives their migration and results in the trapping of neighboring ...

Auroras on Planets around Pulsars
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The first extrasolar planets were discovered serendipitously, by finding the slight variation in otherwise highly regular timing of the pulses, caused by the planets orbiting a millisecond pulsar.

A substellar flyby that shaped the orbits of the giant planets
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsThe modestly eccentric and non-coplanar orbits of the giant planets pose a challenge to solar system formation theories which generally indicate that the giant planets emerged from the protoplanetary disk in nearly perfectly circular and coplanar orbits.

The 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.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2009 The outer solar system extends beyond a heliocentric distance of 5 AU. It contains the giant planets and their systems (rings and satellites), the Kuiper belt, the comets (except those which approach episodically the inner solar system) and, at its outer

Overview of electric solar wind sail applications; pp. 267–278 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2014 We analyse the potential of the electric solar wind sail for solar system space missions. The applications studied include flyby missions to terrestrial planets (Venus, Mars and Phobos, Mercury) and asteroids, missions based on non-Keplerian orbits ...

Ringed versus Ringless Worlds: How Poynting–Robertson Drag Shapes Rings across the Solar System
The Astrophysical Journal LettersPlanetary rings are not only ubiquitous around the giant planets in the outer solar system, but have also been discovered around several small distant bodies. In contrast, no rings have been observed around any inner solar system objects.

Progress in the modeling of Earth and planetary internal magnetic fields
地球与行星物理论评A majority of the planets in the Solar System are characterized by intrinsic magnetic fields that co-rotate with these celestial bodies. With ongoing advances in human deep-space exploration, magnetic field models have been established for all known ...
