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…
