Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of the cataclysmic Late Heavy Bombardment period of the terrestrial planets
Rodney S. Gomes,Harold F. Levison,Harold F. Levison,Kleomenis Tsiganis,Alessandro Morbidelli +4 more
TL;DR: This model not only naturally explains the Late Heavy Bombardment, but also reproduces the observational constraints of the outer Solar System.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of the orbital architecture of the giant planets of the Solar System.
Kleomenis Tsiganis,Rodney S. Gomes,Rodney S. Gomes,Alessandro Morbidelli,Harold F. Levison,Harold F. Levison +5 more
TL;DR: This model reproduces all the important characteristics of the giant planets' orbits, namely their final semimajor axes, eccentricities and mutual inclinations, provided that Jupiter and Saturn crossed their 1:2 orbital resonance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A low mass for Mars from Jupiter's early gas―driven migration
Kevin J. Walsh,Alessandro Morbidelli,Sean N. Raymond,Sean N. Raymond,David P. O'Brien,Avi Mandell +5 more
TL;DR: Simulation of the early Solar System shows how the inward migration of Jupiter to 1.5 au, and its subsequent outward migration, lead to a planetesimal disk truncated at 1’au; the terrestrial planets then form from this disk over the next 30–50 million years, with an Earth/Mars mass ratio consistent with observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chaotic capture of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids in the early Solar System.
TL;DR: It is shown that the Trojans could have formed in more distant regions and been subsequently captured into co-orbital motion with Jupiter during the time when the giant planets migrated by removing neighbouring planetesimals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Debiased Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Near-Earth Objects
William F. Bottke,Alessandro Morbidelli,Robert Jedicke,Jean-Marc Petit,Harold F. Levison,Patrick Michel,Travis S. Metcalfe +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a best-fit model of the near-Earth objects (NEOs) population is presented, which is fit to known NEs discovered or accidentally rediscovered by Spacewatch.
