Did Uranus' regular moons form via a rocky giant impactor?
Jason Man Yin Woo, Christian Reinhardt, Marco Cilibrasi +3
The formation of Uranus' regular moons has been suggested to be linked to the origin of its enormous spin axial tilt (~98^o). A giant impact between proto-Uranus and a 2-3 M_Earth…
Could Uranus and Neptune form by collisions of planetary embryos?
Alice Chau, Christian Reinhardt, André Izidoro +2
The origin of Uranus and Neptune remains a challenge for planet formation models. A potential explanation is that the planets formed from a population of a few planetary embryos wi…
Bifurcation in the history of Uranus and Neptune: the role of giant impacts
Christian Reinhardt, Alice Chau, Joachim Stadel +1
Despite many similarities, there are significant observed differences between Uranus and Neptune: while Uranus is tilted and has a regular set of satellites, suggesting their accre…
Forming Mercury by Giant Impacts
Alice Chau, Christian Reinhardt, Ravit Helled +1
The origin of Mercury's high iron-to-rock ratio is still unknown. In this work we investigate Mercury's formation via giant impacts and consider the possibilities of a single giant…
K2-106, a system containing a metal-rich planet and a planet of lower density
E. W. Guenther, O. Barragan, F. Dai +42
Planets in the mass range from 2 to 15 MEarth are very diverse. Some of them have low densities, while others are very dense. By measuring the masses and radii, the mean densities,…
Constraining the nature of dark matter with the star formation history of the faintest Local Group dwarf galaxy satellites
Alice Chau, Lucio Mayer, Fabio Governato
-Warm Dark Matter (WDM) has been proposed as alternative scenario to cold dark matter (CDM), motivated by discrepancies at the scale of dwarf galaxies, with less small-scale…
