The sublimative evolution of (486958) Arrokoth

Jordan K. Steckloff et al.

Summary: The study found that the surface of Arrokoth is not primordial, with most craters possibly dating from after the sublimative period, but its shape is indeed primordial. The rotation state of Arrokoth was not significantly affected by sublimative torques, and the observed rotation represents its state after formation.

On the origin & thermal stability of Arrokoth's and Pluto's ices

C. M. Lisse et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the long-term nature of stable majority ices in Kuiper Belt object MU69, finding that HCN, CH3OH, and H2O ices are the most refractory. It predicts future detection of HCN or poly-H2CO based species on MU69's surface. The study also suggests that methanol ice may be ubiquitous in the outer solar system and provides insights into the formation era of MU69 and the origins of icy bodies in the solar system.

Ice-coated Pebble Drift as a Possible Explanation for Peculiar Cometary CO/H2O Ratios

Ellen M. Price et al.

Summary: Modeling studies have shown the presence of an enhanced ice-phase CO/H2O region in protoplanetary disks, with CO ice potentially outnumbering H2O ice in some cases. This could lead to the formation of CO-ice-enhanced planetesimals in outer regions, possibly explaining the occurrence of CO-rich comets observed.

1I/'Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an Exo-Pluto Surface II: Generation of N2 Ice Fragments and the Origin of 'Oumuamua

S. J. Desch et al.

Summary: The paper explores the origin of the interstellar object 1I/'Oumuamua, suggesting it may have originated from impact-generated fragments due to the dynamical instability that occurred in the primordial Kuiper belt, a phenomenon that may be common in other extrasolar systems. It also proposes that interstellar objects like 'Oumuamua may provide insights into a previously unobserved type of exoplanet: exo-Plutos.

Oort cloud Ecology II. the chronology of the formation of the Oort cloud

Simon Portegies Zwart et al.

Summary: The study presents a timeline of the formation and early evolution of the Oort cloud, testing the sequence of events through simulations. It is suggested that most of the outer Oort cloud formed after the Solar System was ejected, with trails of asteroids and comets along the Sun's orbit being a by-product of the Oort cloud formation. Additionally, a significant portion of material in both the inner and outer Oort cloud may have been captured from free-floating debris or circumstellar disks in the birth cluster of stars.

Thermophysical evolution of planetesimals in the primordial disc

Bjorn J. R. Davidsson

Summary: The researcher used the numerical simulation program NIMBUS to study the thermophysical evolution of planetesimals in the primordial disc before its disruption, finding that bodies with diameters ranging 4-200 km lost all their CO ice. In addition, they discussed the significant crystallization, CO:CO2 segregation, and CO2 sublimation that some bodies in the primordial disc may have experienced.

Formation Conditions of Titan's and Enceladus's Building Blocks in Saturn's Circumplanetary Disk

Sarah E. Anderson et al.

Summary: The building blocks of Titan and Enceladus are believed to have formed in a late-stage circumplanetary disk around Saturn. Evaluating the evolution of the abundances of volatile species in this disk as a function of the migration, growth, and evaporation of icy grains is then of primary importance to assess the origin of the material that eventually formed these two moons. Only simulations assuming a centrifugal radius in the range 66-100 Saturnian radii allow for the formation and growth of solids with compositions consistent with those measured in Enceladus and Titan.
