Making More Terrestrial Planets (2001, background): “There are several hypotheses to explain mass loss from the belt (see for example, Morbidelli et al. 2000 and Chambers and Wetherill 2001), but all rely on the presence of unstable resonances with the giant planets.”
The primordial excitation and clearing of the asteroid belt—Revisited (2006, neutral): “In addition, Morbidelli et al. (2000a) showed that this model is compatible with the delivery of water to Earth, from the point of view of mass and also of isotopic composition.”
Experimental evidence for water formation on interstellar dust grains by hydrogen and oxygen atoms (2009, background): “While the means of delivery of water to Earth remain a subject of debate (Morbidelli et al. 2000), the synthesis of water in the Universe is a fundamental link in establishing our origins.”
The origin of water on Mars (2002, methodology): “…integra (Levison and Duncan, 1994) until it was ejected on hyp bolic orbit or entered into collision with a giant planet. total collision probability with Mars (assumed to be on present orbit) is computed over the test particle’s lifeti with the method discussed in Morbidelli et al. (2000).”
Hydrated Minerals on Asteroids: The Astronomical Record (2003, background): “Current theories for the origin of Earth’s ocean require a contribution from both asteroids and comets, although the relative importances of the asteroidal and cometary fractions is still under investigation (Delsemme, 2000; Morbidelli et al., 2000).”
The Primordial Excitation and Clearing of the Asteroid Belt (2001, background): “In addition, Morbidelli et al. (2000a) showed that this model is compatible with the delivery of water to Earth, from the point of view of mass and also of isotopic composition.”
Water and astrobiology (2007, background): “As noted, Earth was more likely to accrete planetary embryos from farther away during the second half its accretion, including 10–25% from beyond 1.5AU and some wetter ones from the outer asteroid belt at 2.5–3.5AU (Morbidelli et al., 2000; Chambers, 2004; Raymond et al., 2004).”
Atmospheric Escape and Evolution of Terrestrial Planets and Satellites (2008, background): “However, recent models of solar system formation (e.g., Morbidelli et al. 2000; Raymond et al. 2004) suggest a wet early Venus (e.g., Dayhoff et al. 1967; Walker et al. 1970; Donahue and Pollack 1983; Kasting and Pollack 1983) because the suggest that most of Earth’s water came from the asteroid…”
The naked planet Earth: Most essential pre-requisite for the origin and evolution of life (2013, background): “Additionally, accretion event of asteroids seems to be stochastic event (e.g., Morbidelli et al., 2000; Petit et al., 2001).”
DETECTION OF WIDESPREAD HYDRATED MATERIALS ON VESTA BY THE VIR IMAGING SPECTROMETER ON BOARD THE DAWN MISSION (2012, background): “Notably, the link between distant Vestoids and HEDs is provided by several V-types observed among nearEarth objects (e.g., Marchi et al. 2005).”
Water in the Moon's interior: Truth and consequences (2015, background): “This flux of carbonaceous chondrite is comparable to that estimated for the Earth (Morbidelli et al., 2000; Becker et al., 2006) after accounting for the difference in accretion cross section, which is 50–200× lower for the Moon (Bottke et al., 2007; Nesvorny et al., 2012; Schlichting et al., 2012).”
Heterogeneous accretion, composition and core–mantle differentiation of the Earth (2011, background): “The consequences of water being added at a late stage but before the completion of core formation, as implied by Morbidelli et al. (2000), is discussed in Section 6.”
THE ACTIVE ASTEROIDS (2011, background): “Some such bodies might survive passage through the Earth’s atmosphere (Madiedo et al., 2013) and could already be present, but unrecognised, in terrestrial meteorite collections.”
Ranges of Atmospheric Mass and Composition of Super-Earth Exoplanets (2008, background): “…Venus, and Mars, present-day atmospheres indicate that water and carbon dioxide have remained since accretion, though perhaps the bulk of volatiles were delivered toward the end of accretion (e.g., Morbidelli et al. 2000; Chambers 2006; Raymond et al. 2006; O’Brien, Morbidelli, & Levison 2006).”
High-resolution simulations of the final assembly of Earth-like planets I. Terrestrial accretion and dynamics (2005, positive): “As suggested by Morbidelli et al. (2000), the asteroid belt may be cleared simply by self-scattering of bodies onto unstable orbits such as resonances with Jupiter.”
Origin of water in the terrestrial planets (2005, background): “Morbidelli et al. (2000) have shown that up to 15% of the mass of the Earth could be accreted late in Earth’s growth by collision of one or a few asteroids originating in the Main Belt.”
