Outcomes of Planetary Collisions: Importance of Gravity and Material Properties
Jeremy L. Smallwood, Jeffrey S. Lee, Lorin S. Matthews +1
The final sizes, composition, and angular momenta of solid planetary bodies depend on the outcomes of collisions between planetary embryos. The most common numerical method for sim…
