Catastrophic tidal disruption of heterogeneous rubble piles: a tale of two regimes

John Wimarsson, Eric Frizzell, Martin Jutzi +1

The way a rubble-pile body deforms or disrupts under the influence of tidal forces can be directly tied to its internal strength and configuration. Computational modelling of such…

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…

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…

Experimental evidence for granular shear-flow instability in the Epstein regime

Holly L. Capelo, Jean-David Bodénan, Martin Jutzi +7

Stability analysis of two-fluid protoplanetary disc models has enriched our understanding of how solids can grow into larger bodies called planetesimals. Dust particles entrained i…

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…

The diverse shapes of binary asteroid satellites born from sub-escape-velocity moonlet mergers

John Wimarsson, Fabio Ferrari, Martin Jutzi

Recent direct observations of atypically shaped rubble-pile satellites of sub-km asteroids in form of the spherically oblate Dimorphos and bilobate Selam challenge classical binary…
