  2. 1. Disentangling the Early History of the Solar System

    Author : Simona Pirani; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; planets and satellites: formation; planets and satellites: dynamical evolution and stability; Kuiper belt: general;

    Abstract : Giant planets form out of a disc of gas and dust – called protoplanetary disc -- that surrounded the protosun at the time of its formation. While the cores of giant planets were growing via planetesimal and pebble accretion, they started to interact with the gas in the protoplanetary disc. READ MORE

  4. 2. Formation of Pebble-Pile Planetesimals and the Interior Structure of Comets

    Author : Karl Wahlberg Jansson; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; planets and satellites: formation; minor planets; asteroids: general; comets: general;

    Abstract : Planets form in protoplanetary discs of gas, dust and ice around newborn stars. In the Solar System, not only planets are found as a result from the time of planet formation, but also remnant planetesimals in the form of asteroids, Kuiper belt objects and comets. Recent observations, e.g. READ MORE

    Abstract : In this licentiate thesis, I consider debris disks from an observational, astronomical viewpoint, but also discuss a potential astrobiological application. Debris disks are essentially disks of dust and rocks around main-sequence stars, analogue to the Kuiper- or the asteroid belt in our solar system. READ MORE
