Chondrules are crystallised droplets of silicates formed by rapid heating tohigh temperatures (> 1800 K) of solid precursors followed by hours or days ofcooling. Dating of chondrules is consistent with the formation timescale ofJupiter in the core-accretion model (1-4 Myrs). Here we investigate if theshocks generated by a massive planet could generate flash heating episodesnecessary to form chondrules using high resolution 2D simulations with themulti-fluid code ROSSBI. We use different radiative cooling prescriptions, i.e.different cooling rates and models, and vary planet mass, orbit and diskmodels. For long disk cooling rates (> 1000 orbits) and a massive protoplanet(> 0.75 jupiter masses), we obtain hot enough temperatures for chondruleformation, while using more realistic thermodynamics is not successful in theMinimum Mass Solar Nebula (MMSN) model. However, sufficient flash heating isachieved by a Jupiter mass planet in a 5 times more massive disk, which is aconceivable scenario for the young solar nebula and exoplanetary systems.Interestingly, a gap-forming massive planet triggers vortices, which can trapdust, i.e. chondrule precursors, and generates a high pressure environment thatis consistent with cosmochemical evidence from chondrules. A massive gas giantcan thus, in principle, both stimulate the concentration of chondruleprecursors in the vicinity of the shocking regions, and flash-heat them via theshocks.

Can chondrules be produced by the interaction of Jupiter with the protosolar disk?
