We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebular and protoplanetary disks (PPDs). We discuss the implications of theory, meteorite measurements, and astronomical observations for planetary formation and nebular evolution. Paleomagnetic measurements indicate the presence of fields of 0.54$pm$0.21 G at $sim$1 to 3 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun and $gtrsim$0.06 G at 3 to 7 AU until >1.22 and >2.51 million years (Ma) after solar system formation, respectively. These intensities are consistent with those predicted to enable typical astronomically-observed protostellar accretion rates of $sim$10$^{-8}$ M$_odot$ yr$^{-1}$, suggesting that magnetism played a central role in mass and angular momentum transport in PPDs. Paleomagnetic studies also indicate fields <0.006 G and <0.003 G in the inner and outer solar system by 3.94 and 4.89 Ma, respectively, consistent with the nebular gas having dispersed by this time. This is similar to the observed lifetimes of extrasolar protoplanetary disks.

If we want to understand planetesimal formation, the only data set we have is our own Solar System. It is particularly interesting as it is so far the only planetary system we know of that developed life. Understanding the conditions under which the
Solar Nebula evolved is crucial in order to understand the different processes in the disk and the subsequent dynamical interaction between (proto-)planets, once the gas disk is gone. Protoplanetary disks provide a plethora of different parameters to explore. The question is whether this parameter space can be constrained, allowing simulations to reproduce the Solar System. Models and observations of planet formation provide constraints on the initial planetesimal mass in certain regions of the Solar Nebula. By making use of pebble flux-regulated planetesimal formation, we perform a parameter study with nine different disk parameters like the initial disk mass, initial disk size, initial dust-to-gas ratio, turbulence level, and more. We find that the distribution of mass in planetesimals in the disk depends on the planetesimal formation timescale and the pebbles drift timescale. Multiple disk parameters can influence pebble properties and thus planetesimal formation. However, it is still possible to draw some conclusions on potential parameter ranges. Pebble flux-regulated planetesimal formation seems to be very robust, allowing simulations with a wide range of parameters to meet the initial planetesimal constraints for the Solar Nebula. I.e., it does not require a lot of fine tuning.
Cometary studies suggest that the organic composition of the early Solar Nebula was rich in complex nitrile species such a CH$_3$CN. Recent ALMA detections in protoplanetary disks suggest that these species may be common during planet and comet forma
tion, but connecting gas phase measurements to cometary abundances first requires constraints on formation chemistry and distributions of these species. We present here the detection of seven spatially resolved transitions of CH$_3$CN in the protoplanetary disk around the T-Tauri star TW Hya. Using a rotational diagram analysis we find a disk-averaged column density of N$_T$=1.45$^{+0.19}_{-0.15}times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ and a rotational temperature of T$_{rot}$=32.7$^{+3.9}_{-3.4}$ K. A radially resolved rotational diagram shows the rotational temperature to be constant across the disk, suggesting that the CH$_3$CN emission originates from a layer at z/r$sim$0.3. Through comparison of the observations with predictions from a disk chemistry model, we find that grain-surface reactions likely dominate CH$_3$CN formation and that in situ disk chemistry is sufficient to explain the observed CH$_3$CN column density profile without invoking inheritance from the protostellar phase. However, the same model fails to reproduce a Solar System cometary abundance of CH$_3$CN relative to H$_2$O in the midplane, suggesting that either vigorous vertical mixing or some degree of inheritance from interstellar ices occurred in the Solar Nebula.
In the course of the selection of the scientific themes for the second and third L-class missions of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program of the European Space Agency, the exploration of the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune was defined a timely mi
lestone, fully appropriate for an L class mission. Among the proposed scientific themes, we presented the scientific case of exploring both planets and their satellites in the framework of a single L-class mission and proposed a mission scenario that could allow to achieve this result. In this work we present an updated and more complete discussion of the scientific rationale and of the mission concept for a comparative exploration of the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune and of their satellite systems with twin spacecraft. The first goal of comparatively studying these two similar yet extremely different systems is to shed new light on the ancient past of the Solar System and on the processes that shaped its formation and evolution. This, in turn, would reveal whether the Solar System and the very diverse extrasolar systems discovered so far all share a common origin or if different environments and mechanisms were responsible for their formation. A space mission to the ice giants would also open up the possibility to use Uranus and Neptune as templates in the study of one of the most abundant type of extrasolar planets in the galaxy. Finally, such a mission would allow a detailed study of the interplanetary and gravitational environments at a range of distances from the Sun poorly covered by direct exploration, improving the constraints on the fundamental theories of gravitation and on the behaviour of the solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field.
Graphite is one of the many presolar circumstellar condensate species found in primitive meteorites. While the isotopic compositions of low-density graphite grains indicate an origin in core-collapse supernovae, some high-density grains have extreme
isotopic anomalies in C, Ca and Ti, which cannot be explained by envelope predictions of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars or theoretical supernova models. The Ca and Ti isotopic anomalies, however, match the predictions of He-shell abundances in AGB stars. In this study, we show that the C, Ca, and Ti isotopic anomalies are consistent with nucleosynthesis predictions of the H-ingestion phase during a very late thermal pulse (VLTP) event in post-AGB stars. The low $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C isotopic ratios in these grains are a result of abundant $^{12}$C efficiently capturing the protons that are being ingested during the VLTP. Very high neutron densities of $sim 10^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$, typical of the $i$-process, are achieved during this phase in post-AGB stars. The large $^{42,43,44}$Ca excesses in some graphite grains are indicative of neutron capture nucleosynthesis during VLTP. The comparison of VLTP nucleosynthesis calculations to the graphite data also indicate that apparent anomalies in the Ti isotopic ratios are due to large contributions from $^{46,48}$Ca, which cannot be resolved from the isobars $^{46,48}$Ti during the measurements. We conclude that presolar graphite grains with moderate to extreme Ca and Ti isotopic anomalies originate in post-AGB stars that suffer a very late thermal pulse.
The ungrouped iron meteorite Nedagolla is the first meteorite with bulk Mo, Ru, and Ni isotopic compositions that are intermediate between those of the non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorite reservoirs. The Hf-W chronology of Nedagolla
indicates that this mixed NC-CC isotopic composition was established relatively late, more than 7 million years after Solar System formation. The mixed NC-CC isotopic composition is consistent with the chemical composition of Nedagolla, which combines signatures of metal segregation under more oxidizing conditions (relative depletions in Mo and W), characteristic for CC bodies, and more reducing conditions (high Si and Cr contents), characteristic for some NC bodies, in a single sample. These data combined suggest that Nedagolla formed as the result of collisional mixing of NC and CC core material, which partially re-equilibrated with silicate mantle material that predominantly derives from the NC body. These mixing processes might have occurred during a hit-and-run collision between two differentiated bodies, which also provides a possible pathway for Nedagollas extreme volatile element depletion. As such, Nedagolla provides the first isotopic evidence for early collisional mixing of NC and CC bodies that is expected as a result of Jupiters growth.
