Can metal-rich worlds form by giant impacts?
Saverio Cambioni, Benjamin P. Weiss, Erik Asphaug +5
Planets and stars are expected to be compositionally linked because they accrete from the same material reservoir. However, astronomical observations revealed the existence of exop…
Constraints on the formation history and composition of Kepler planets from their distribution of orbital period ratios
Di-Chang Chen, Christoph Mordasini, Ji-Wei Xie +2
The Kepler high-precision planetary sample has revealed a radius valley, separating compact super-Earths from sub-Neptunes with lower density. Super-Earths are generally assumed to…
A New Database of Giant Impacts over a Wide Range of Masses and with Material Strength: A First Analysis of Outcomes
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Erik Asphaug, Saverio Cambioni +4
In the late stage of terrestrial planet formation, planets are predicted to undergo pairwise collisions known as giant impacts. Here we present a high-resolution database of giant…
A radius valley between migrated steam worlds and evaporated rocky cores
Remo Burn, Christoph Mordasini, Lokesh Mishra +4
The radius valley (or gap) in the observed distribution of exoplanet radii, which separates smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes, is a key feature that theoretical models…
