Physics

Scientific paper

Vesta thermal evolution and structural models based on radiogenic heating are compared. In all the models, differing for the delay in injection ( td) of 26Al (the primary heat source) by the nebula in which Vesta was formed, we observe the differentiation of the asteroids leading to the formation of a metallic core (mainly iron) and a silicatic crust of which we study the chemical and physical evolution. We also analyze the contribution of long-lived radionuclides, in particular 40K, 232Th, 235U and 238U.
