Our group believes it has discovered an important correlation between the ionization potential of elements and their abundance in planets and other Solar System objects. This correlation can be explained with a simple thermochemical equation and the predictions made with this equation correlate impressively well with the observed surface chemical compositions of planets.
Details of our work are described in the following document: https://arxiv.org/abs/1208.2909v2
Since the time of this preprint, our model has been experimentally tested by an independent team of researchers using geoneutrino measurements and the Earth’s heat flux. Their conclusions are at favor of our model. Also, it has been shown that our anoxic Earth model matches geophysical PREM data very well.
Now we are looking for an astrophysicist or astronomer with a good understanding of protoplanetary disks to collaborate with our group of geochemists, geologists and chemists to improve our theoretical model with observations of protoplanetary disks.
UPD Oct 12: we are still interested, please contact us.
Snigdha Das for instance, to connect the model with observations: what object in the sky corresponds to the moment of magnetic differentiation of elements, proposed by Fred Hoyle, when the proto-star reaches rotational instability and its matter is centrifugally ejected.
