Dynamical evolution of the early solar system
D Nesvorný - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Several properties of the Solar System, including the wide radial spacing of the giant
planets, can be explained if planets radially migrated by exchanging orbital energy and …

Origin of water in the inner Solar System: Planetesimals scattered inward during Jupiter and Saturn's rapid gas accretion
SN Raymond, A Izidoro - Icarus, 2017 - Elsevier
There is a long-standing debate regarding the origin of the terrestrial planets' water as well
as the hydrated C-type asteroids. Here we show that the inner Solar System's water is a …

Chaotic capture of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids in the early Solar System
Jupiter's Trojans are asteroids that follow essentially the same orbit as Jupiter, but lead or
trail the planet by an angular distance of∼ 60 degrees (co-orbital motion). They are …

Ocean-like water in the Jupiter-family comet 103P/Hartley 2
For decades, the source of Earth's volatiles, especially water with a deuterium-to-hydrogen
ratio (D/H) of (1.558±0.001)× 10− 4, has been a subject of debate. The similarity of Earth's …

Debiased orbital and absolute magnitude distribution of the near-Earth objects
WF Bottke Jr, A Morbidelli, R Jedicke, JM Petit… - Icarus, 2002 - Elsevier
The orbital and absolute magnitude distribution of the near-Earth objects (NEOs) is difficult
to compute, partly because only a modest fraction of the entire NEO population has been …

Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope
The Stardust spacecraft collected thousands of particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 and returned
them to Earth for laboratory study. The preliminary examination of these samples shows that …
