Research Abstract

In the early days of the primitive solar system, giant gas giants such as proto-Jupiter and Saturn moved back and forth within the solar system, and the gravitational scattering caused by these planetary migrations is thought to have triggered collisions between asteroids. This research project clarified the mechanism and process of asteroid destruction using meteorite samples, which are pieces of asteroids, and high-pressure minerals and deformation structures of chondrules, which are traces of collisions, to verify "Were gas giants the destroyers of asteroids?
