Planetesimal Impact Vapor Plumes and Nebular Shocks form Chondritic Mixtures
Sarah T. Stewart, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +3
The origin of chondrules, and the chondritic sedimentary rocks that dominate the meteoritic record, is a long-standing problem in planetary science. Here, we develop a physical mod…
Construction and Calibration of a Streaked Optical Spectrometer for Shock Temperature
Erik J. Davies, Dylan K. Spaulding, Sarah T. Stewart
Here we describe the implementation and calibration of a streaked visible spectrometer (SVS) for optical pyrometry and emission/absorption spectroscopy on light gas gun platforms i…
Silicate Melting and Vaporization during Rocky Planet Formation
Erik J. Davies, Phil J. Carter, Seth Root +4
Collisions that induce melting and vaporization can have a substantial effect on the thermal and geochemical evolution of planets. However, the thermodynamics of major minerals are…
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…
