Tracking Volatile Elements in Protoplanetary Disks and on Planetary Surfaces
<p>The formation of planets begins with collisions of tiny, micron-sized, dust grains. These grains reside in structures known as protoplanetary disks, rotating disks consisting of gas and dust that encircle young protostars as a natural outcome of star formation. Although the processes of pla...
