Scientific paper

A solar-system-formation model in which the sun forms by slow accumulation from a slowly contracting disk of interstellar material until the temperature and pressure in the degenerate central body becomes sufficient to ignite thermonuclear burning of hydrogen is characterized. Such a model is found to be better able to explain the present slow rotation rate and 7.25-deg inclination of the sun, while the fact that material from various sources could be incorporated in the protoplanetary part of the disk and the possibility that the outer rings of the disk can be warped to a wide range of inclinations might account for the mix of nuclear types found in the planets and meteorites and for the behavior of the Oort comet cloud.
