Estimated centrifugal radius of each mass shell. Beyond ≈ 10 AU, the centrifugal radius increases linearly. The solid line is the current centrifugal radius, while the dotted line is an estimate of rcf after the expansion wave has passed and the associated magnetic braking has reduced the specific angular momentum (see text). The top axis shows the approximate times at which the expansion wave is expected to pass a certain radius. The symbols show the estimated centrifugal radii of 1 AU and 10 AU. The associated times are 6 × 103 yr and 4 × 104 yr.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
