Residual Neural Networks for the Prediction of Planetary Collision Outcomes

Philip M. Winter, Christoph Burger, Sebastian Lehner +3

Fast and accurate treatment of collisions in the context of modern N-body planet formation simulations remains a challenging task due to inherently complex collision processes. We…

Lenstool-HPC: A High Performance Computing based mass modelling tool for cluster-scale gravitational lenses

Christoph Schäfer, Gilles Fourestey, Jean-Paul Kneib

With the upcoming generation of telescopes, cluster scale strong gravitational lenses will act as an increasingly relevant probe of cosmology and dark matter. The better resolved d…

Water delivery to dry protoplanets by hit-and-run collisions

C. Burger, T. I. Maindl, C. M. Schäfer

Final water inventories of newly formed terrestrial planets are shaped by their collision history. A setting where volatiles are transported from beyond the snowline to habitable-z…

Collisional formation of massive exomoons of super-terrestrial exoplanets

Uri Malamud, Hagai B. Perets, Christoph Schaefer +1

Exomoons orbiting terrestrial or super-terrestrial exoplanets have not yet been discovered; their possible existence and properties are therefore still an unresolved question. Here…

High Performance Computing for gravitational lens modeling: single vs double precision on GPUs and CPUs

Markus Rexroth, Christoph Schäfer, Gilles Fourestey +1

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of cosmology and the dark matter distribution. Efficient lensing software is already a necessity to fully use its potential and the…

Triggering Sublimation-Driven Activity of Main Belt Comets

Nader Haghighipour, Thomas Maindl, Christoph Schaefer +2

It has been suggested that the comet-like activity of Main Belt Comets are due to the sublimation of sub-surface water-ice that has been exposed as a result of their surfaces being…
