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…
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics in pkdgrav3 for Shock Physics Simulations. I. Hydrodynamics
Thomas Meier, Douglas Potter, Christian Reinhardt +1
We present pkdgrav3, a high-performance, fully parallel tree-SPH code designed for large-scale hydrodynamic simulations including self-gravity. Building upon the long development h…
The possibility of a giant impact on Venus
Mirco Bussmann, Christian Reinhardt, Cedric Gillmann +4
Giant impacts were common in the early evolution of the Solar System, and it is possible that Venus also experienced an impact. A giant impact on Venus could have affected its rota…
On the origin of Jupiter's fuzzy core: constraints from N-body, impact and evolution simulations
Thomas Meier, Christian Reinhardt, Sho Shibata +3
It has been suggested that Jupiter's fuzzy core could be a result of a giant impact. Here, we investigate the expected impact conditions from N-body simulations. We then use state-…
The Moon-forming Impact as a Constraint for the Inner Solar System's Formation
Tong Fang, Rongxi Bi, Hui Zhang +3
The solar system planets are benchmarks for the planet formation theory. Yet two paradigms coexist for the four terrestrial planets: the prolonged collisional growth among planetes…
The Outcome of Collisions between Gaseous Clumps formed by Disk Instability
Yoav Matzkevich, Christian Reinhardt, Thomas Meier +2
The disk instability model is a promising pathway for giant planet formation in various conditions. At the moment, population synthesis models are used to investigate the outcomes…
A Systematic Survey of Moon-Forming Giant Impacts. II. Rotating bodies
Thomas Meier, Christian Reinhardt, Miles Timpe +2
In the leading theory of lunar formation, known as the giant impact hypothesis, a collision between two planet-size objects resulted in a young Earth surrounded by a circumplanetar…
