VapoRock: Thermodynamics of vaporized silicate melts for modeling volcanic outgassing and magma ocean atmospheres
Aaron S. Wolf, Noah Jäggi, Paolo A. Sossi +1
Silicate vapors play a key role in planetary evolution, especially dominating early stages of rocky planet formation through outgassed magma ocean atmospheres. Our open-source ther…
GENGA II: GPU planetary N-body simulations with non-Newtonian forces and high number of particles
Simon L. Grimm, Joachim G. Stadel, Ramon Brasser +2
We present recent updates and improvements of the graphical processing unit (GPU) N-body code GENGA. Modern state-of-the-art simulations of planet formation require the use of a ve…
Evolution of Mercury's Earliest Atmosphere
Noah Jäggi, Diana Gamborino, Dan J. Bower +6
MESSENGER observations suggest a magma ocean formed on proto-Mercury, during which evaporation of metals and outgassing of C- and H-bearing volatiles produced an early atmosphere.…
Retention of water in terrestrial magma oceans and carbon-rich early atmospheres
Dan J. Bower, Kaustubh Hakim, Paolo A. Sossi +1
Massive steam and CO atmospheres have been proposed for magma ocean outgassing of Earth and terrestrial planets. Yet formation of such atmospheres depends on volatile exchange…
The impact and recovery of asteroid 2018 LA
Peter Jenniskens, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe, Qing-Zhu Yin +63
The June 2, 2018, impact of asteroid 2018 LA over Botswana is only the second asteroid detected in space prior to impacting over land. Here, we report on the successful recovery of…
Large scale simulation of pressure induced phase-field fracture propagation using Utopia
Patrick Zulian, Alena Kopaničáková, Maria Giuseppina Chiara Nestola +4
Non-linear phase field models are increasingly used for the simulation of fracture propagation models. The numerical simulation of fracture networks of realistic size requires the…
Can chondrules be produced by the interaction of Jupiter with the protosolar disk?
Jean-David Bodénan, Clément Surville, Judit Szulágyi +2
Chondrules are crystallised droplets of silicates formed by rapid heating to high temperatures (> 1800 K) of solid precursors followed by hours or days of cooling. Dating of chondr…
Primordial Earth mantle heterogeneity caused by the Moon-forming giant impact
Hongping Deng, Maxim D. Ballmer, Christian Reinhardt +4
The giant impact hypothesis for Moon formation successfully explains the dynamic properties of the Earth-Moon system but remains challenged by the similarity of isotopic fingerprin…
The formation of Jupiter by hybrid pebble-planetesimal accretion
Yann Alibert, Julia Venturini, Ravit Helled +8
The standard model for giant planet formation is based on the accretion of solids by a growing planetary embryo, followed by rapid gas accretion once the planet exceeds a so-called…
Cosmic History and a Candidate Parent Asteroid for the Quasicrystal-bearing Meteorite Khatyrka
Matthias M. M. Meier, Luca Bindi, Philipp R. Heck +8
The unique CV-type meteorite Khatyrka is the only natural sample in which "quasicrystals" and associated crystalline Cu,Al-alloys, including khatyrkite and cupalite, have been foun…
Late metal-silicate separation on the IAB parent asteroid: Constraints from combined W and Pt isotopes and thermal modelling
Alison C. Hunt, David L. Cook, Tim Lichtenberg +4
The short-lived Hf-W decay system is a powerful chronometer for constraining the timing of metal-silicate separation and core formation in planetesimals and planets…
Mercury (Hg) in meteorites: variations in abundance, thermal release profile, mass-dependent and mass-independent isotopic fractionation
Matthias M. M. Meier, Christophe Cloquet, Bernard Marty
We have measured the concentration, isotopic composition and thermal release profiles of Mercury (Hg) in a suite of meteorites, including both chondrites and achondrites. We find l…
The initial abundance and distribution of 92Nb in the Solar System
Tsuyoshi Iizuka, Yi-Jen Lai, Waheed Akram +2
Niobium-92 is an extinct proton-rich nuclide, which decays to 92Zr with a half-life of 37 Ma. This radionuclide potentially offers a unique opportunity to determine the timescales…
A hit-and-run Giant Impact scenario
Andreas Reufer, Matthias M. M. Meier, Willy Benz +1
The formation of the Moon from the debris of a slow and grazing giant impact of a Mars-sized impactor on the proto-Earth (Cameron & Ward 1976, Canup & Asphaug 2001) is widely accep…
