Formation, Composition, and Evolution of Satellites and Minor Bodies of the Outer Solar System
Summary
The purpose of this workshop will be to illuminate the accretion of bodies in the solar nebula and the subnebulae of giant planets, as well as their composition and long term evolution. The processes forming the satellite systems are coupled to those governing planetary formation and the evolution of the early Solar System, thus, a useful discussion of the connection between them particularly in light of recent results would be informative and productive.
