The influence of interior structure and thermal state on impact melt generation upon large impacts onto terrestrial planets

Lukas Manske, Thomas Ruedas, Ana-Catalina Plesa +4

We investigate the melt production of planetary impacts as a function of planet size (=0.1-1.5), impactor size (=1-1000 km), and core size ratio ($R_\mathrm{…

Scaling laws for the geometry of an impact-induced magma ocean

Miki Nakajima, Gregor J. Golabek, Kai Wünnemann +6

Here, we develop scaling laws for (1) the distribution of impact-induced heat within the mantle and (2) shape of the impact-induced melt based on more than 100 smoothed particle hy…
