Water Delivery and Giant Impacts in the 'Grand Tack' Scenario
David P. O'Brien, Kevin J. Walsh, Alessandro Morbidelli +2
A new model for terrestrial planet formation (Hansen 2009, Walsh et al. 2011) has explored accretion in a truncated protoplanetary disk, and found that such a configuration is able…
Excitation of the Orbital Inclination of Iapetus during Planetary Encounters
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Rogerio Deienno +1
Saturn's moon Iapetus has an orbit in a transition region where the Laplace surface is bending from the equator to the orbital plane of Saturn. The orbital inclination of Iapetus t…
Properties and evolution of NEO families created by tidal disruption at Earth
Eva Schunová, Robert Jedicke, Kevin J. Walsh +3
We have calculated the coherence and detectable lifetimes of synthetic near-Earth object (NEO) families created by catastrophic disruption of a progenitor as it suffers a very clos…
