Building Terrestrial Planets (2012, background): “In this case, the low content of short-lived radioactive elements might have allowed them to avoid differentiation, as in the cases of Callisto (Canup & Ward 2002) or Titan (Sotin et al. 2010).”
Irregular Satellites of the Planets: Products of Capture in the Early Solar System (2007, background): “Perhaps the mass flowed through the disk toward the planet, and was not all present at one time (Canup & Ward 2002, 2006).”
Interior composition, structure and dynamics of the Galilean satellites (2004, background): “This gives rise to the concept of the gas-starved disk, a thin accretion disk that forms after Jupiter’s hydrodynamic collapse and lasts for as long as the solar nebula exists to feed it (Stevenson 2001, Canup and Ward 2002).”
FOMALHAUT'S DEBRIS DISK AND PLANET: CONSTRAINING THE MASS OF FOMALHAUT B FROM DISK MORPHOLOGY (2008, background): “It is not clear, however, how such a disk would survive for the system age of ∼100 Myr; protosatellite disks are thought to evolve on timescales shorter than a few Myr (e.g., Canup & Ward 2002; Mosqueira & Estrada 2003).”
TIDALLY HEATED TERRESTRIAL EXOPLANETS: VISCOELASTIC RESPONSE MODELS (2009, background): “Differential inwards migration is common in early solar systems (Thommes & Lissauer 2005) and planetary moon systems (Kley 1999; Canup & Ward 2002), and is a possible origin of the 1:2:4 resonant Laplace relation among the Jovian satellites (Peale & Lee 2002).”
