The Effect of Jupiter's Formation on the Distribution of Refractory Elements and Inclusions in Meteorites
The Effect of Jupiter's Formation on the Distribution of Refractory Elements and Inclusions in Meteorites
We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk, constructed to resolve the "CAI Storage" problem of meteoritics. We predict the abundances of calcium-rich, aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and refractory lithophile elements under the central assumption that Jupiter's $\sim 30 \, M_{\oplus}$ core forms at about 3 AU at …
