Are the Moon's nearside-farside asymmetries the result of a giant impact?
Meng-Hua Zhu, Kai Wunnemann, Ross W. K. Potter +2
The Moon exhibits striking geological asymmetries in elevation, crustal thickness, and composition between its nearside and farside. Although several scenarios have been proposed t…
Reconstructing the late accretion history of the Moon
Meng-Hua Zhu, Natalia Artemieva, Alessandro Morbidelli +3
The importance of highly siderophile elements (HSEs) to track planetary late accretion has long been recognized. However, the precise nature of the Moon's accretional history remai…
Scaling laws for the geometry of an impact-induced magma ocean
Miki Nakajima, Gregor J. Golabek, Kai Wünnemann +6
Here, we develop scaling laws for (1) the distribution of impact-induced heat within the mantle and (2) shape of the impact-induced melt based on more than 100 smoothed particle hy…
