The energy budgets of giant impacts
Philip J Carter, Simon J Lock, Sarah T Stewart
Giant impacts dominate the final stages of terrestrial planet formation and set the configuration and compositions of the final system of planets. A giant impact is believed to be…
The Shock Physics of Giant Impacts: Key Requirements for the Equations of State
Sarah T. Stewart, Erik J. Davies, Megan S. Duncan +6
We discuss major challenges in modeling giant impacts between planetary bodies, focusing on the equations of state (EOS). During the giant impact stage of planet formation, rocky p…
The energy budget and figure of Earth during recovery from the Moon-forming giant impact
Simon J. Lock, Sarah T. Stewart, Matija Ćuk
Quantifying the energy budget of Earth in the first few million years following the Moon-forming giant impact is vital to understanding Earth's initial thermal state and the dynami…
