Formation of the terrestrial planets in the solar system around 1 au via radial concentration of planetesimals [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018
Context. No planets exist inside the orbit of Mercury and the terrestrial planets of the solar system exhibit a localized configuration. According to thermal structure calculation of protoplanetary disks, a silicate condensation line (~1300 K) is located around 0.1 au from the Sun except for the early phase of disk evolution, and planetesimals could ...

A Consistent Model of Terrestrial Planet Magnetospheres and Rotations in Our Solar System

World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics, 2021
The Sun comprises 99.9% of the solar system mass so it is expected that Sun terrestrial planet interactions can influence the motion as well as the rotation of the terrestrial planets. Gravity affects the planet orbital motions while the changing magnetic fields of the Sun can influence the planet rotations.

KOI-3158: The oldest known system of terrestrial-size planets [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The first discoveries of exoplanets around Sun-like stars have fueled efforts to find ever smaller worlds evocative of Earth and other terrestrial planets in the Solar System. While gas-giant planets appear to form preferentially around metal-rich stars,

Constructing the secular architecture of the solar system II: the terrestrial planets [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009
We investigate the dynamical evolution of the terrestrial planets during the planetesimal-driven migration of the giant planets. A basic assumption of this work is that giant planet migration occurred after the completion of terrestrial planet formation, such as in the models that link the former to the origin of the Late Heavy Bombardment.

Solar System evolution and terrestrial planet accretion determined by Zr isotopic signatures of meteorites

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2022
Nucleosynthetic isotope signatures in meteorites provide key insights into the structure and dynamics of the solar protoplanetary disk and the accretion history of the planets. We present high-precision Zr isotopic data of a comprehensive suite of non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorites, and find that various meteorite groups, including ...

Late Accretion and the Origin of Water on Terrestrial Planets in the Solar System

, 2021
<p>Terrestrial planets in the Solar system generally lack surface liquid water. Earth is at odd with this observation and with the idea of the giant Moon-forming impact that should have vaporized any pre-existing water, leaving behind a dry Earth.

A Resonant Beginning for the Solar System’s Terrestrial Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
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.
