A systematic survey of Moon-forming giant impacts: Non-rotating bodies
Miles Timpe, Christian Reinhardt, Thomas Meier +2
In the leading theory of lunar formation, known as the giant impact hypothesis, a collision between two planet-size objects resulted in a young Earth surrounded by a circumplanetar…
A Systematic Survey of Moon-Forming Giant Impacts. II. Rotating bodies
Thomas Meier, Christian Reinhardt, Miles Timpe +2
In the leading theory of lunar formation, known as the giant impact hypothesis, a collision between two planet-size objects resulted in a young Earth surrounded by a circumplanetar…
Secular Behavior of Exoplanets: Self-Consistency and Comparisons with the Planet-Planet Scattering Hypothesis
Miles Timpe, Rory Barnes, Ravikumar Kopparapu +3
If mutual gravitational scattering among exoplanets occurs, then it may produce unique orbital properties. For example, two-planet systems that lie near the boundary between circul…
Machine learning applied to simulations of collisions between rotating, differentiated planets
Miles Timpe, Maria Han Veiga, Mischa Knabenhans +2
In the late stages of terrestrial planet formation, pairwise collisions between planetary-sized bodies act as the fundamental agent of planet growth. These collisions can lead to e…
