Blinding Lights: Simulation-Based Evidence for Terrestrial Giant Impacts as Astronomically Observable Events
Lucy Taylor, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +1
Giant impacts (collisions between planet-sized bodies) are violent events that fundamentally alter the properties of planets and the structure of planetary systems. Observations of…
Giant impacts preferentially remove low-mass atmospheres: a generalised scaling law for impact-driven atmospheric loss
Matthew J. Roche, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +1
Impact-driven atmospheric loss plays a key role in shaping the diversity of planetary atmospheres. However, existing prescriptions for calculating loss from a given impact neglect…
Tectonics on early Earth driven by Earth's changing shape during tidal recession of the Moon
Simon J. Lock
Few fragments of Earth's earliest crust have survived, and so this formative period of our planet's history is shrouded in mystery. To leverage the limited data available, it is im…
Can giant impacts be directly detected in other star systems?
Pavan Tanna, Simon Lock, Amy Bonsor +2
Giant impacts, collisions between planet-sized bodies, play an important role in planet and moon formation. As we enter a new era of large-scale surveys, such as \textit{Gaia} and…
Thermal and rotational effects of giant impacts during terrestrial planet accretion
Adriana N. Postema, Simon J. Lock, Sarah T. Stewart
Terrestrial planets likely experienced one or more giant impacts during their formation that inflicted large thermal, chemical, and rotational perturbations. The early states of te…
