### Dynamical History of the Asteroid Belt and Implications for Terrestrial Planet Bombardment

The main asteroid belt spans ~2-4 AU in heliocentric distance and is sparsely populated by rocky debris. The dynamical structure of the main belt records clues to past events in solar system history.

### Investigation of the asteroid–neutron star collision model for the repeating fast radio bursts

• Physics, Geology
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2019
The origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is still a mystery. One model proposed to interpret the only known repeating object, FRB 121102, is that the radio emission is generated from asteroids

### Asteroid impacts on terrestrial planets: the effects of super-Earths and the role of the ν6 resonance

• Physics, Geology
• 2018
With N-body simulations of a planetary system with an asteroid belt we investigate how the asteroid impact rate on the Earth is affected by the architecture of the planetary system. We find that the

### Asymmetric impacts of near-Earth asteroids on the Moon

• Physics, Geology

Context. Recent lunar crater studies have revealed an asymmetric distribution of rayed craters on the lunar surface. The asymmetry is related to the synchronous rotation of the Moon: there is a

### How much water was delivered from the asteroid belt to the Earth after its formation?

• Geology, Physics
• 2021
The Earth contains between one and ten oceans of water, including water within the mantle, where one ocean is the mass of water on the Earth’s surface today. With n-body simulations we consider how

### White dwarf pollution by asteroids from secular resonances

• Physics, Geology
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• 2018
In the past few decades, observations have revealed signatures of metals polluting the atmospheres of white dwarfs. The diffusion timescale for metals to sink from the atmosphere of a white dwarf is

### Asteroids and Life: How Special Is the Solar System?

• Physics, Geology
The Astrophysical Journal Letters
• 2022
Asteroid impacts with Earth may have played an essential role in the emergence of life on Earth through their creation of favorable niches for life, changes to the atmosphere, and delivery of water.

### The inner solar system cratering record and the evolution of impactor populations

• Geology, Physics
• 2014
We review previously published and newly obtained crater size-frequency distributions in the inner solar system. These data indicate that the Moon and the terrestrial planets have been bombarded by

### Life on Exoplanets in the Habitable Zone of M Dwarfs?

• Physics, Geology
The Astrophysical Journal Letters
• 2022
Exoplanets orbiting in the habitable zone around M dwarf stars have been prime targets in the search for life due to the long lifetimes of the host star, the prominence of such stars in the galaxy,

Old craters from a unique period of heavy bombardment that ended ∼3.8 billion years ago were made by asteroids that were dynamically ejected from the main asteroid belt, possibly due to the orbital migration of the giant planets.
