The efficient delivery of highly-siderophile elements to the core creates a mass accretion catastrophe for the Earth
Richard J. Anslow, Maylis Landeau, Amy Bonsor +2
The excess abundance of highly siderophile elements (HSEs), as inferred for the terrestrial planets and the Moon, is thought to record a `late veneer' of impacts after the giant im…
Resilience of Snowball Earth to Stochastic Events
Guillaume Chaverot, Andrea Zorzi, Xuesong Ding +6
Earth went through at least two periods of global glaciation (i.e., ``Snowball Earth'' states) during the Neoproterozoic, the shortest of which (the Marinoan) may not have lasted s…
The distribution of impactor core material during large impacts on Earth-like planets
Jonathan P. Itcovitz, Auriol S. P. Rae, Thomas M. Davison +2
Large impacts onto young rocky planets may transform their compositions, creating highly reducing conditions at their surfaces and reintroducing highly siderophile metals to their…
Reduced atmospheres of post-impact worlds: The early Earth
J. P. Itcovitz, A. S. P. Rae, R. I. Citron +4
Impacts may have had a significant effect on the atmospheric chemistry of the early Earth. Reduced phases in the impactor (e.g., metallic iron) can reduce the planet's HO inven…
