Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and
astonished us with their close-in orbits. They are a prime example of how exoplanets have …

The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and
characterization, with over half a million known asteroids, more than 100,000 of which have …

Hot Jupiters, giant extrasolar planets with orbital periods shorter than∼ 10 days, have long
been thought to form at large radial distances, only to subsequently experience long-range …

Several properties of the solar system, including the wide radial spacing and orbital
eccentricities of giant planets, can be explained if the early solar system evolved through a …

The barrage of comets and asteroids that produced many young lunar basins (craters over
300 kilometres in diameter) has frequently been called the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) …

Many dynamical aspects of the solar system can be explained by the outer planets
experiencing a period of orbital instability sometimes called the Nice Model. Though often …

We revisit the early evolution of the Moon's bombardment. Our work combines modeling
(based on plausible projectile sources and their dynamical decay rates) with constraints …

Studies of solar system formation suggest that the solar system's giant planets formed and
migrated in the protoplanetary disk to reach the resonant orbits with all planets inside∼ 15 …

Exoplanets orbiting in the habitable zone around M dwarf stars have been prime targets in
the search for life due to the long lifetimes of the host star, the prominence of such stars in …

Many features of the outer Solar system are replicated in numerical simulations if the giant
planets undergo an orbital instability that ejects one or more ice giants. During this …
