This sets the starting size of the dust before later structures trapped it. If it holds, it ties the Solar System's disk to the dust behaviour seen in other protoplanetary disks.","findings":["High-temperature condensates (CAIs and AOAs) formed near the protosun and were carried to the outer disk, either by early radial spreading or by the protostellar outflow.","Structures in the disk produced pressure maxima that trapped dust on million-year timescales, letting planetesimals form at very different times without large isotopic changes.","The disk disappeared in about 5 Myr, there was no late streamer accretion, and its evolution seems typical in size, lifetime and dust behaviour."],"terms":[{"term":"au","means":"Astronomical unit, the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, used to measure distances in planetary systems."},{"term":"dust component","means":"The solid grains in a protoplanetary disk, which can move differently from the gas that surrounds them."},{"term":"drifted inwards","means":"Moved gradually towards the central star, as dust grains do in a disk because of their interaction with the gas."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-18T04:00:46.235Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-18T04:00:46.235Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
