Sentences with phrase «snow line»

I will present how new detailed observations are providing significant insights about how different physical conditions rule the evolution of protoplanetary disks, such as snow lines, potential embedded planets, and spatial changes of disk viscosity.

Making use of mountain snow line data indicating larger temperature changes at altitude, Lindzen proposed a new kind of model of the tropical response, which fit the CLIMAP data and indicated very low sensitivity to CO2 increases in the future.

That's because ice in the early solar system is thought to have formed beyond a «snow line» lying somewhere between Mars and Jupiter.

Ice is thought to have formed beyond a «snow line» somewhere in the asteroid belt, but it is not clear how common it is in asteroids because their surface ice rapidly vaporises.

As Jupiter and Saturn wandered back out, their gravity latched on to asteroids that formed beyond the snow line — the boundary beyond which temperatures are low enough for ice to form — and flung them inward.

The changes in plant distribution were uniform across elevations; they were consistent with the expected effects of observed fluctuations in rainfall, snow line, and temperature; and the movements were similar across species.

«There's no snow beyond the snow line,» said Johnson.

Two possible ways that the inner solar system received water are: water molecules sticking to dust grains inside the «snow line» (as shown in the inset) and carbonaceous chondrite material flung into the inner solar system by the effect of gravity from protoJupiter.

Either way, the objects are said to have begun their journey from far beyond Earth, past a boundary called the «snow line,» before impacting Earth and depositing water deep in the planet and on its surface.

In this illustration of the early solar system, the dashed white line represents the snow line — the transition from the hotter inner solar system, where water ice is not stable (brown) to the outer Solar system, where water ice is stable (blue).

Since then, the snow line has risen and sheep herders have abandoned the mountain's waterlogged environs.

Just beyond the snow line, astronomers would expect that planets would form the most quickly since, as you move beyond this line, the density of planet - making material drops.

We conclude that Ceres must have accreted material from beyond the «snow line» 11, which is the distance from the Sun at which water molecules condense.»

Additionally, Kepler has also reported a large population of relatively low mass planets, inside the snow line.

What you do not seem to be considering is that when the snow line rises the albedo will change, and since this ice retreat is global then the global albedo will be reduced leading to an increase in global mean temperature.

This new finding is important because it's one of the first exoplanets in this mass range that lies beyond the «snow line» — the distance during formation of a planetary system beyond which ice can form from water, ammonia, and methane.

It's possible that instead of forming as terrestrial planets in place, rocky planets orbiting their stars every few days formed further out beyond the snow line where they accreted large amounts of gas before migrating and being stripped of their atmospheres.

Whereas ice giant planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, which are denser and composed of ices, dust, and other heavier debris, likely formed farther out in the system, as an amalgam of leftover heavier substances rich in heavier elements that accreted beyond the snow line.

Because these processes can either enrich the inner disk in oxygen (e.g., via the rapid transport water ice inward via aerodynamic drag) or deprive it of oxygen (e.g., by locking up water ice beyond the snow line through the formation of large planetesimals or protplanets), they can affect the C / O ratio of the gaseous disk within the snow line.

In Project 2.3, we take advantage of recent advancements in our ability to probe the gaseous disk within the snow line.

The distance from a star beyond which it's cold enough for comets to form is known as the «snow line» (for obvious reasons).
