Research suggests doughnut-shaped protoplanetary disk explains metal distribution

By West LA Times | Jun 20, 2024

Iron meteorites are remnants of the metallic cores of the earliest asteroids in our solar system. These meteorites contain refractory metals, such as iridium and platinum, which formed near the sun but were transported to the outer solar system. New research indicates that for this transportation to have occurred, the protoplanetary disk of our solar system had to have been doughnut-shaped because refractory metals could not have crossed large gaps in a target-shaped disk of concentric rings.

By West LA Times | Jun 10, 2024

As the Supreme Court term nears its traditional summer recess, legal observers expect one of the most far-reaching decisions to come from a pair of cases called Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce.
