Immediate origin of the Moon as a post-impact satellite
Jacob A. Kegerreis, Sergio Ruiz-Bonilla, Vincent R. Eke +3
The Moon is traditionally thought to have coalesced from the debris ejected by a giant impact onto the early Earth. However, such models struggle to explain the similar isotopic co…
The effect of pre-impact spin on the Moon-forming collision
Sergio Ruiz-Bonilla, Vincent R. Eke, Jacob A. Kegerreis +2
We simulate the hypothesised collision between the proto-Earth and a Mars-sized impactor that created the Moon. Amongst the resulting debris disk in some impacts, we find a self-gr…
Planetary Giant Impacts: Convergence of High-Resolution Simulations using Efficient Spherical Initial Conditions and SWIFT
J. A. Kegerreis, V. R. Eke, P. G. Gonnet +4
We perform simulations of giant impacts onto the young Uranus using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with over 100 million particles. This 100--1000 improvement in par…
