The terrestrial planet formation paradox inferred from high-resolution N-body simulations
Jason Man Yin Woo, Ramon Brasser, Simon L. Grimm +2
Recent improvements to GPU hardware and the symplectic N-body code GENGA allow for unprecedented resolution in simulations of planet formation. In this paper, we report results fro…
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…
Mars' formation can constrain the primordial orbits of the gas giants
Jason Man Yin Woo, Joachim Stadel, Simon Grimm +1
Recent high precision meteoritic data infers that Mars finished its accretion rapidly within 10 Myr of the beginning of the Solar system and had an accretion zone that did not enti…
Growing Mars fast: High-resolution GPU simulations of embryo formation
Jason Man Yin Woo, Simon L. Grimm, Ramon Brasser +1
Recent high precision meteoritic data improve constraints on the formation timescale and bulk composition of the terrestrial planets. High resolution N-body simulations allow direc…
