Redefinition of the crater-density and absolute-age boundaries for the chronostratigraphic system of Mars (2011, background): “The precise shape of the cratering flux between 3.9 and 3.5 Ga is undergoing research (e.g., Morbidelli, 2010; Bottke et al., 2011).”
Size-frequency distributions of fragments from SPH/N-body simulations of asteroid impacts: Comparison with observed asteroid families (2007, background): “For example, recent numerical modeling work (Tsiganis et al., 2005; Morbidelli et al., 2005; Gomes et al., 2005) indicates the dynamical structure of the Solar System changed during the so-called Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), a time period ∼3.”
PROBING FOR EXOPLANETS HIDING IN DUSTY DEBRIS DISKS: DISK IMAGING, CHARACTERIZATION, AND EXPLORATION WITH HST/STIS MULTI-ROLL CORONAGRAPHY (2014, background): “The Nice model (Tsiganis et al. 2005; Morbidelli et al. 2005) for the dynamical re-arrangement of the solar system explains (1) the migration of the outer planets; (2) the depletion of dust-producing planetesimals by factors of 10 in both the Asteroid and Kuiper Belts; and (3) evidence for a…”
Mercury’s Weather-Beaten Surface: Understanding Mercury in the Context of Lunar and Asteroidal Space Weathering Studies (2014, methodology): “From dynamical models of solar system evolution modeling derived from the socalled “Nice model” (Morbidelli et al. 2005; Nesvorny et al. 2007; Charnoz et al. 2009; Broz et al. 2011), including the concept of an extended or “E-belt” of early asteroids (Bottke et al. 2012), in conjunction with the…”
The primordial excitation and clearing of the asteroid belt—Revisited (2006, methodology): “We have performed new simulations to study and compare two models for the excitation and depletion of the primordial asteroid belt in the context of the Nice Model (Gomes et al., 2005; Tsiganis et al., 2005; Morbidelli et al., 2005), in which Jupiter and Saturn began on nearly circular and co-planar”
STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM'S INSTABILITY WITH FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX GIANT PLANETS (2012, background): “…model is compelling because it explains the separations, eccentricities, and inclinations of the outer planets (Tsiganis et al. 2005), and many properties of the populations of small bodies (Morbidelli et al. 2005, Nesvorný et al. 2007, Levison et al. 2008, 2009, Nesvorný & Vokrouhlický 2009).”
THE CANADA–FRANCE ECLIPTIC PLANE SURVEY—L3 DATA RELEASE: THE ORBITAL STRUCTURE OF THE KUIPER BELT (2009, background): “In the Nice model777 this seems unlikely because jovian Trojan capture occurs just after the Jupiter-Saturn mutual 1:2 resonance778 crossing (Morbidelli et al. 2005) and involves small bodies closer to the planets than the cold outer disk779 that is the main source of the cold Kuiper belt.”
Origin of the structure of the Kuiper belt during a dynamical instability in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune (2007, background): “It successfully explains, for the first time, the current orbital architecture of the giant planets (Tsiganis et al. 2005), the existence of the Trojans populations of Jupiter and Neptune (Morbidelli et al. 2005), and the origin of the late heavy bombardment of the terrestrial planets (Gomes et al. ”
Irregular Satellites of the Planets: Products of Capture in the Early Solar System (2007, background): “These distributions are much flatter than comparable power-law representations of the size distributions of the main-belt asteroids (q ∼3.5, with significant size-dependent variations; Bottke et al. 2005), small Jovian Trojans (q ∼3.0±0.3 for radii <20 km; Jewitt et al. 2000), or KBOs (q = 4.0+0.6−0”
Populating the asteroid belt from two parent source regions due to the migration of giant planets—“The Grand Tack” (2012, background): “…Model is currently the most studied model describing the reshuffling of giant planets’ orbits, which is also a likely trigger for the ‘‘late’’ bombardment of the inner of the solar system (Gomes et al. 2005; Morbidelli et al. 2005; Tsiganis et al. 2005; Levison et al. 2011; Bottke et al. 2012).”
COMETARY ORIGIN OF THE ZODIACAL CLOUD AND CARBONACEOUS MICROMETEORITES. IMPLICATIONS FOR HOT DEBRIS DISKS (2009, background): “The Nice model is compelling because it can explain many of the characteristics of the outer solar system (Tsiganis et al. 2005; Morbidelli et al. 2005; Nesvorný et al. 2007; Levison et al. 2008; Nesvorný & Vokrouhlický 2009).”
LATE ORBITAL INSTABILITIES IN THE OUTER PLANETS INDUCED BY INTERACTION WITH A SELF-GRAVITATING PLANETESIMAL DISK (2011, methodology): “In 2005, a new model was published describing the early dynamical evolution of the solar system (Tsiganis et al. 2005; Morbidelli et al. 2005; Gomes et al. 2005), which has since come to be known as the Nice model.”
The dynamics of Jupiter and Saturn in the gaseous protoplanetary disk (2007, background): “…explains the current orbital architecture of the giant planets (orbital separations, eccentricities and mutual inclinations; Tsiganis et al., 2005) the origin and orbital distribution of the Trojans of Jupiter (Morbidelli et al., 2005) and the structure of the Kuiper belt (Levison et al., 2007).”
