Circumstellar disks in high-mass star environments: the early solar system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2010
Abstract
The early solar system represents the only case we have of a circumstellar disk that can be investigated “in situ” -albeit 4.6 Gyr after its formation. Meteorites studies give mounting evidence for an intense irradiation phase of the young circumsolar disk by energetic particles, and also for contamination by products of high-mass stellar and/or explosive nucleosynthesis. We thus discuss the conditions of the birth of the solar system in a high-mass star environment.
