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…
Dealing with density discontinuities in planetary SPH simulations
Sergio Ruiz-Bonilla, Josh Borrow, Vincent R. Eke +4
Density discontinuities cannot be precisely modelled in standard formulations of smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH) because the density field is defined smoothly as a kernel-we…
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…
