Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of Jupiter using opacities based on detailed grain physics

TL;DR: In this article, Hubickyj et al. presented numerical simulations for the formation of Jupiter at 5.2 AU in three primordial disks with three different assumed values of the surface density of solid particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chondrule formation during planetesimal accretion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the idea that most chondrules formed as a consequence of inefficient pairwise accretion, when molten or partly molten planetesimals ~ 30-100 km diameter, similar in size, collided at velocities comparable to their two-body escape velocity ~ 100 m/s.
Journal ArticleDOI

The opacity of grains in protoplanetary atmospheres

TL;DR: In this article, the size distribution of silicate grains in the outer radiative region of the envelope of a protoplanet evolving according to the scenario of Pollack et al. was computed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cassini Ring Seismology as a Probe of Saturn’s Interior. I. Rigid Rotation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct a family of Saturn interior models constrained by the gravity field and compute their adiabatic mode eigenfrequencies and corresponding Lindblad and vertical resonances in Saturn's C ring, where more than twenty waves with pattern speeds faster than the ring mean motion have been detected and characterized using high resolution Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) stellar occultation data.
