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 ...

Constraining the Formation of the Four Terrestrial Planets in the Solar System [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract To reproduce the orbits and masses of the terrestrial planets (analogs) of the solar system, most studies scrutinize simulations for success as a batch. However, there is insufficient discussion in the literature on the likelihood of forming planet analogs simultaneously in the same system (analog system). To address this issue,

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 ...

Tianwen-1 and MAVEN Observations of the Response of Mars to an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are solar transients that have significant effects on the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Mars. The simultaneous spacecraft observations from Tianwen-1/MOMAG in solar wind and multiple instruments on board

Can narrow discs in the inner Solar system explain the four terrestrial planets? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT A successful Solar system model must reproduce the four terrestrial planets. Here, we focus on (1) the likelihood of forming Mercury and the four terrestrial planets in the same system (a 4-P system); (2) the orbital properties and masses of each terrestrial planet; and (3) the timing of Earth’s last giant impact and the mass ...

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.

Modelling Atmospheric Erosion for Terrestrial Planets in the Solar System
, 2023 Since the Great Oxidation Event, the oxygen escape rate on Earth has changed over time mainly due to solar evolution. Two solar agents drive the Earth’s atmospheric erosion rate: the solar wind and the EUV radiation. The first one affects the non-thermal processes by changing the plasma conditions, and the second one affects both types of processes: by

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 ...
