One of the unique aspects of Earth is that it has a fractionally large Moon, which is thought to have formed from a Moon-forming disk generated by a giant impact. The Moon stabiliz…
Mixing model of Phobos' bulk elemental composition for the determination of its origin: Multivariate analysis of MMX/MEGANE data
Kaori Hirata, Tomohiro Usui, Ryuki Hyodo +6
The formation process of the two Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, is still debated with two main competing hypotheses: the capture of an asteroid or a giant impact onto Mars. In o…
Exploring the recycling model of Phobos formation: rubble-pile satellites
Gustavo Madeira, Sebastien Charnoz, Yun Zhang +4
Phobos is the target of the return sample mission Martian Moons eXploration by JAXA that will analyze in great details the physical and compositional properties of the satellite fr…
Early water delivery to terrestrial planet regions during the stages of Jupiter's formation and migration in the Grand Tack model
Masahiro Ogihara, Hidenori Genda, Yasuhito Sekine
The formation and subsequent migration of gas giants could significantly affect the material mixing in the Solar System. In this study, we use N-body simulations to investigate how…
