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
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
Origin of the structure of the Kuiper belt during a dynamical instability in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune
Harold F. Levison,Alessandro Morbidelli,Christa VanLaerhoven,Rodney S. Gomes,Kleomenis Tsiganis +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, Tsiganis et al. explore the origin and orbital evolution of the Kuiper belt in the framework of a recent model of the dynamical evolution of giant planets, sometimes known as the Nice model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the Giant Planets of the Solar System in the Gaseous Protoplanetary Disk and Their Relationship to the Current Orbital Architecture
TL;DR: In this paper, Tsiganis et al. studied the orbital evolution of the four giant planets of our solar system in a gas disk and found that the only systems to reach a steady state are those in which the planets are locked in a quadruple mean-motion resonance (i.e., each planet is in resonance with its neighbor).
