Earth-mass Planets in Tandem Disks
The Astrophysical JournalThis paper presents a new terrestrial planet formation theory demonstrating that Earth-mass planets form naturally in tandem protosolar disks. Our model builds upon tandem planet formation theory, incorporating magneto-rotational instability (MRI ...

Experimental evidence for hydrogen incorporation into Earth’s core
Nature Communications, 2021 Based on diamond-anvil cell experiments and cutting-edge secondary ion mass spectrometry analyses, the authors here show that hydrogen may be an important constituent in the Earth’s core and also in the metallic cores of any terrestrial planet or moon ...

Nightside Clouds on Tidally Locked Terrestrial Planets Mimic Atmosphere-free Scenarios
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe investigate the impact of nightside cloud formation on the observable day/night contrast of tidally locked terrestrial planet atmospheres. We demonstrate that, in the case where the planetary dayside is only 10 s of Kelvin hotter than the planetary ...

Integral Education in Light of Earthrise [PDF]
Integral Review, 2015 This article explores the relationship between integral education and the emerging terrestrial consciousness—a consciousness of interdependency, sovereignty, and earthly responsibility.

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The formation and subsequent migration of gas giants could significantly affect the material mixing in the solar system. In this study, we use N -body simulations to investigate how much water is transported into the region of the terrestrial planet ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of Terrestrial Planets [PDF]
, 2018 The solar system presents us with a number of planetary bodies with shallow atmospheres that are sufficiently Earth-like in their form and structure to be termed “terrestrial.” These atmospheres have much in common, in having circulations that are driven primarily by heating from the Sun and radiative cooling to space, which vary markedly with latitude.

Size–Frequency Distribution of Terrestrial Leftover Planetesimals and S-complex Implanted Asteroids
The Astrophysical JournalThe isotopic composition of meteorites linked to S-complex asteroids has been used to suggest that these asteroids originated in the terrestrial planet’s region, i.e., within 1.5 au, and later got implanted into the main asteroid belt (MAB).

Origin and early evolution of terrestrial planet atmospheres and oceans
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019 Planet atmospheric compositions are determined by the availability of a gas species, its molecular weight and the mass (or gravity force) of a planet. Both Mercury and the Moon are not massive enough to hold any gas species to form an atmosphere.
