We introduce the theoretical basis of a new form of remanent magnetization that likely
formed on primitive bodies in the solar system. Accretional detrital remanent magnetization …

Theoretical investigations suggest that magnetic fields may have played an important role in
driving rapid stellar accretion rates and efficient planet formation in protoplanetary disks …

Magnetic fields in the solar nebula may have played a central role in mass and angular
momentum transport in the protosolar disk and facilitated the accretion of the first …

The evolution and lifetime of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) play a central role in the formation
and architecture of planetary systems. Astronomical observations suggest that PPDs evolve …

The solar nebula sustained a strong magnetic field that may have aided planetesimal
accretion and imparted the chemical remanent magnetization (CRM) observed in some …

Different types of magnetic fields were at work in the early solar system: nebular fields
generated within the protoplanetary nebula, solar fields, and dynamo fields generated within …

Paleomagnetic studies of meteorites have shown that the solar nebula was likely
magnetized and that many early planetary bodies generated dynamo magnetic fields in their …

The natural remanent magnetization (NRM) in individual chondrules from the Allende
meteorite was measured. These had previously been oriented relative to each other. The …

Chondritic meteorites have been traditionally thought to be samples of undifferentiated
bodies that never experienced large-scale melting. This view has been challenged by the …

Astronomical observations and isotopic measurements of meteorites suggest that
substructures are common in protoplanetary disks and may even have existed in the solar …
