Silicate-Metal Segregation in Small Bodies of the Early Solar System: A Three-Phase 1-D Spherical Model

The composition of meteorites and the surface of asteroids suggest that planetesimals of the early solar system have undergone partial melting and differentiation. The sepa- ration of the denser metal (Fe-FeS alloy) from the lighter silicate is the most important differentiation process. The melting...
