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,

Astrophysical Journal, 2012 A model of coupled mantle convection and planetary tectonics is used to demonstrate that history dependence can outweigh the effects of a planet's energy content and material parameters in determining its tectonic state. The mantle convection-surface tectonics system allows multiple tectonic modes to exist for equivalent planetary parameter values. The

Shock Events in the Solar System: The Message from Minerals in Terrestrial Planets and Asteroids
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2013 Impacts are central to the origin and evolution of planets of the Solar System. The shapes of craters, which can reach up to 1,000 km in diameter on the Moon, provide critical information on the large-scale dynamics of the impact and related shock. Minerals formed at high pressure and temperature found in shocked terrestrial rocks and meteorites give ...

Atmosphere, 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 ...

Observations of Locally Generated Whistler-mode Waves in the Martian Magnetotail Current Sheet
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The whistler-mode wave is an electromagnetic wave that commonly occurs in space plasma and has been extensively studied, especially within the Earth's magnetosphere. They have also been reported in the near-Mars space, such as Martian upstream solar wind,

Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system.

Terrestrial planet and asteroid belt formation by Jupiter–Saturn chaotic excitation
Scientific Reports, 2023 The terrestrial planets formed by accretion of asteroid-like objects within the inner solar system’s protoplanetary disk. Previous works have found that forming a small-mass Mars requires the disk to contain little mass beyond ~ 1.5 au (i.e., the disk ...

Terrestrial Planet Formation: The Solar System and Other Systems [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 Accretion of terrestrial planets and solid cores of jovian planets is discussed, based on the results of our N-body simulations. Protoplanets accrete from planetesimals through runaway and oligarchic growth until they become isolated. The isolation mass of protoplanets in terrestrial planet region is about 0.2 Earth mass, which suggests that in the ...
