Terrestrial planet formation constrained by Mars and the structure of the asteroid belt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Reproducing the large Earth/Mars mass ratio requires a strong mass depletion in solids within the protoplanetary disc between 1 and 3 au. The Grand Tack model invokes a specific migration history of the giant planets to remove most of the mass initially ...

WARM DEBRIS DISKS PRODUCED BY GIANT IMPACTS DURING TERRESTRIAL PLANET FORMATION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In our solar system, Mars-sized protoplanets frequently collided with each other during the last stage of terrestrial planet formation, called the giant impact stage. Giant impacts eject a large amount of material from the colliding protoplanets into the

Formation of telluric planets and the origin of terrestrial water

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2014
Simulations of planet formation have failed to reproduce Mars’ small mass (compared with Earth) for 20 years. Here I will present a solution to the Mars problem that invokes large-scale migration of Jupiter and Saturn while they were still embedded in ...

The atmospheres of the terrestrial planets

open access: yesGeophysical Surveys, 1985
It has been known since the end of the nineteenth century that the Earth’s nearest planetary neighbours, Venus and Mars, have extensive atmospheres. However, the nature of these atmospheres was not at all well understood until the advent of planetary missions by robot probes, beginning with Mariner 2 which encountered Venus in December 1962. Since then,

The detailed chemical composition of the terrestrial planet host Kepler-10 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Chemical abundance studies of the Sun and solar twins have demonstrated that the solar composition of refractory elements is depleted when compared to volatile elements, which could be due to the formation of terrestrial planets.

A Simulative Approach for the Prediction of Mesoscale Residual Stress Fields in Solution‐Strengthened Ferritic Ductile Iron

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a 3D representative volume element‐based simulation approach to predict mesoscopic residual stress and strain fields in silicon solid solution‐strengthened ductile cast iron. By modeling phase transformation kinetics with an enhanced Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov model, the effects of varying cooling rates on residual stresses are ...

A terrestrial planet in a ~1-AU orbit around one member of a ∼15-AU binary [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2014
Impolite planet ignores host's partner Many known exoplanets (planets outside our own solar system) are hosted by binary systems that contain two stars. These planets normally circle around both of their stars.

A Comprehensive Review of Additive Manufacturing for Space Applications: Materials, Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing (AM) transforms space hardware by enabling lightweight, high‐performance, and on‐demand production. This review outlines AM processes—powder bed fusion (PBF), directed energy deposition (DED), binder jetting (BJ), sheet lamination (SL), and material extrusion (ME)—applied to propulsion, satellite structures, and thermal devices ...

Are There Terrestrial Planets Lurking in the Outer Solar System?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Motivated by recent measurements of the free-floating-planet mass function at terrestrial masses, we consider the possibility that the solar system may have captured a terrestrial planet early in its history.

NUMERICALLY PREDICTED INDIRECT SIGNATURES OF TERRESTRIAL PLANET FORMATION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The intermediate phases of planet formation are not directly observable due to lack of emission from planetesimals. Planet formation is, however, a dynamically active process resulting in collisions between the evolving planetesimals and the production ...
