Timing of Martian Core Formation from Models of Hf–W Evolution Coupled with N-body Simulations
11 Determining how and when Mars formed has been a long-standing challenge for 12 planetary scientists. The size and orbit of Mars are difficult to reproduce in classical simulations 13 of planetary…
Early planetary processes and light elements in iron-dominated cores
This paper discusses the latest research on the accretion and differentiation of terrestrial planets and multidisciplinary constraints on light elements in iron-dominated metallic cores. The classic…
Planet Formation: Key Mechanisms and Global Models
Models of planet formation are built on underlying physical processes. In order to make sense of the origin of the planets we must first understand the origin of their building blocks. This review…
The origin of the Moon’s Earth-like tungsten isotopic composition from dynamical and geochemical modeling
TLDR
The authors find that traditional models of Moon formation are very unlikely to reproduce the Moon's Earth-like isotopic composition, and conclude that alternate explanations for the Moon’s isotopic compositions are likely more plausible.
Distinguishing the Origin of Asteroid (16) Psyche
The asteroid (16) Psyche may be the metal-rich remnant of a differentiated planetesimal, or it may be a highly reduced, metal-rich asteroidal material that never differentiated. The NASA Psyche…

Fast accretion of the Earth with a late Moon-forming giant impact
TLDR
A model of the 182W isotopic evolution of the accreting Earth, including constraints from partitioning of refractory siderophile elements (Ni, Co, W, V, and Nb) during core formation, which can explain the discrepancy in the timing of the Moon-forming giant impact (MGI).
Rapid accretion and early core formation on asteroids and the terrestrial planets from Hf–W chronometry
TLDR
It is concluded that core formation in the terrestrial planets and the formation of the Moon must have occurred during the first ∼30 million years of the life of the Solar System.

A short timescale for terrestrial planet formation from Hf–W chronometry of meteorites
TLDR
Measurements of tungsten isotope compositions and hafnium–tungsten ratios of several meteorites indicate that the bulk of metal–silicate separation in the Solar System was completed within <30 Myr, completely consistent with other evidence for rapid planetary formation.
