Physics

Scientific paper

We present here simulations of the early evolution of icy planetesimals, before they are incorporated into giant planets or ejected from the planetary system. The volatile composition and interior structure of these objects change considerably prior to interaction with the giant planets, due to intrinsic thermal evolution of the different planetesimals. Some volatiles may survive throughout (until incorporated in planetary atmospheres or ejected further outside), but the varied thermal histories may impose an additional composition gradient to that inherent from the disk's physicalchemical evolution.
