An Impacting Descent Probe for Europa and the other Galilean Moons of Jupiter
P. Wurz, D. Lasi, N. Thomas +10
We present a study of an impacting descent probe that increases the science return of spacecraft orbiting or passing an atmosphere-less planetary body of the solar system, such as…
Coupling SPH and thermochemical models of planets: Methodology and example of a Mars-sized body
Gregor J. Golabek, Alexandre Emsenhuber, Martin Jutzi +2
Giant impacts have been suggested to explain various characteristics of terrestrial planets and their moons. However, so far in most models only the immediate effects of the collis…
SPH calculations of Mars-scale collisions: the role of the Equation of State, material rheologies, and numerical effects
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Martin Jutzi, Willy Benz
We model large-scale (2000km) impacts on a Mars-like planet using a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code. The effects of material strength and of using different Equations…
Relevance of Tidal Heating on Large TNOs
Prabal Saxena, Joe Renaud, Wade G. Henning +2
We examine the relevance of tidal heating for large Trans-Neptunian Objects, with a focus on its potential to melt and maintain layers of subsurface liquid water. Depending on thei…
