Three-dimensional SPH simulations of the Caloris basin-forming impact: basin scaling, the gravity anomaly, and antipodal effects

Thomas Meier, Christian Reinhardt, Martin Jutzi +1

The Caloris basin is the largest well-preserved impact structure on Mercury, yet its formation conditions, the origin of its positive gravity anomaly, and its relation to the antip…

A Formation-Stage Bottleneck for Exomoons around Close-in Rocky Planets

Rongxi Bi, Hongping Deng, Christian Reinhardt +2

Massive moons around rocky exoplanets are expected outcomes of giant impacts, yet no exomoon has been securely confirmed. We address this problem using meshless finite-mass simulat…

A scaling relation for core heating by giant impacts and implications for dynamo onset

You Zhou, Peter E. Driscoll, Mingming Zhang +2

Accretional heating of Earth's interior during formation is pivotal to its subsequent thermal and chemical evolution. In particular, impact heating of Earth's core is expected, but…

Giant Planet Formation by Disk Instability

Ravit Helled, Oliver Schib, Christian Reinhardt +4

The disk instability (DI) model for giant planet formation remains an attractive alternative in explaining the formation of giant planets at early times, giant planets at large rad…

Recent advances in modelling of global-scale collisions using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Christian Reinhardt, Sabina D. Raducan, Thomas Meier +3

Impacts play a fundamental role in shaping the physical and chemical properties of the objects in our Solar System. Given the challenges in replicating such collisions through labo…

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics in pkdgrav3 for Shock Physics Simulations. II. Shear Strength

Thomas Meier, Christian Reinhardt, Martin Jutzi +2

Material strength effects have been recently shown to be significant in giant impacts even at scales of planetary collisions. Despite this, their effects are often neglected in num…
