Emergence of a habitable planet
We address the first several hundred million years of Earth's history. The Moon-forming
impact left Earth enveloped in a hot silicate atmosphere that cooled and condensed over∼ …

[HTML][HTML] Radioactive nuclei from cosmochronology to habitability
M Lugaro, U Ott, Á Kereszturi - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
In addition to long-lived radioactive nuclei like U and Th isotopes, which have been used to
measure the age of theGalaxy, also radioactive nuclei with half-lives between 0.1 and 100 …

Age of Jupiter inferred from the distinct genetics and formation times of meteorites
The age of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, is still unknown. Gas-giant planet
formation likely involved the growth of large solid cores, followed by the accumulation of gas …

The Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic composition of CHUR: constraints from unequilibrated chondrites and implications for the bulk composition of terrestrial planets
A Bouvier, JD Vervoort, PJ Patchett - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008 - Elsevier
The Lutetium–Hafnium radiogenic isotopic system is widely used as a chronometer and
tracer of planetary evolution. In order for this isotopic system to fulfill its potential in planetary …

The effect of Jupiter's formation on the distribution of refractory elements and inclusions in meteorites
We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

The lunar magma ocean: Reconciling the solidification process with lunar petrology and geochronology
The Moon is thought to have originated with a magma ocean that produced a plagioclase
flotation crust as solidification proceeded. Ages of anorthositic crust range over at least …

Hf–W chronology of the accretion and early evolution of asteroids and terrestrial planets
The 182Hf–182W systematics of meteoritic and planetary samples provide firm constraints
on the chronology of the accretion and earliest evolution of asteroids and terrestrial planets …

The great dichotomy of the Solar System: Small terrestrial embryos and massive giant planet cores
A Morbidelli, M Lambrechts, S Jacobson, B Bitsch - Icarus, 2015 - Elsevier
The basic structure of the Solar System is set by the presence of low-mass terrestrial planets
in its inner part and giant planets in its outer part. This is the result of the formation of a …

Protracted core formation and rapid accretion of protoplanets
Understanding core formation in meteorite parent bodies is critical for constraining the
fundamental processes of protoplanet accretion and differentiation within the solar …

Late formation and prolonged differentiation of the Moon inferred from W isotopes in lunar metals
The Moon is thought to have formed from debris ejected by a giant impact with the early
'proto'-Earth and, as a result of the high energies involved, the Moon would have melted to …
