Convection Cells Scenarios – Planet Formation
Research to be reviewed related to the formation scenarios in these planet formation convections cells processes: Rapid formation of exoplanetesimals revealed by white dwarfs “By simulating planetesimal evolution and collisional evolution, we show that the most likely heat source is short-lived radioactive nuclides such as 26Al (which has a half-life of ~0.7 Myr). Core-rich materials in the…

Time for a new scientific debate – Accretion vs Convection
To what degree is gravity needed to form structures in space? While many believe that celestial bodies (stars, planets, moons, meteoroids) can only form through gravitational attraction in the vacuum of space, I believe that these bodies form through a thermodynamic process similar to the formation of hydrometeors (e.g., hail). This is because our solar…
