A possible mechanism of origin of heavy elements in the solar system

TL;DR

This paper hypothesizes that a collision involving a neutron-rich compact object contributed to the formation of heavy elements in the early solar system and influenced terrestrial planet formation.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hypothesis linking neutron-rich compact object collisions to heavy element enrichment in the solar system.

Findings

Proposes a collision mechanism for heavy element origin.

Suggests a link between NRCO impacts and terrestrial planet formation.

Provides a new perspective on solar system chemical enrichment.

Abstract

We advance a hypothesis that a collision of a neutron-rich compact object (NRCO) with a massive dense object of the early solar system was responsible for the heavy element enrichment of the system and for the formation of the terrestrial planets.
