Sentences with phrase «system formation»

One very important constraint for testing theories of Solar System formation is meteorite chemistry.

Consequently, the satellites that formed earlier when the rings were more massive are larger and located farther out, whereas multiple small satellites tend to form just outside of the main rings at the final stage of the satellite system formation.

Several computer simulations of stellar and planetary system formation have suggested that some objects of planetary mass would be ejected into interstellar space.

«I look at comets as the dinosaur bones of solar system formation.

Weiss says that if the solar nebula was around in the first 4 million years of solar system formation, this would give support to the core accretion scenario, which is generally favored among scientists.

What's most surprising is that we've never seen interstellar objects pass through before,» said Karen Meech, an astronomer at UH's Institute for Astronomy in Honolulu specializing in small bodies and their connection to solar system formation.

But analysis of particles and isotopes from comets and meteorites present a mixed picture of solar system formation, more complicated than just a one - way movement of matter from the disk to the star.

«Cosmochemists find evidence for unstable heavy element at solar system formation: «Curious Marie» sample leads to critical detection of curium in meteorite.»

The findings indicate that solar system formation is often disorderly and unpredictable, and that some potential cousins of Earth may have been destroyed in the chaos.

«It's really odd that the first object we would see from outside our system would be an asteroid, because a comet would be a lot easier to spot and the Solar System ejects many more comets than asteroids,» says Jackson, who specializes in planet and solar system formation.

Prevailing theories of solar system formation, Levison explains, hold that early in the system's history there were plenty of icy objects left over from planetary formation.

In the standard model of solar system formation, Levison notes, the bulk of the comets originally available in the sun's disk wound up not in the Oort Cloud but flung clear into interstellar space.

Although many observational efforts aimed at understanding planetary - system formation have been made, this study is novel in focusing on the chemical change.

Kuiper Belt Objects appear to be primitive bodies that are remnants of the early stages of solar system formation, when the giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) were accreting surrounding gas, dust, and ices.

One theory suggests, however, that its extreme tilt could have been created by a series of smaller shifts through orbital migrations and interactions between the giant planets during the earliest stages of Solar System formation (Adrián Brunini, 2006).
