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{…
Electrical and seismological structure of the martian mantle and the detectability of impact-generated anomalies
Thomas Ruedas, Doris Breuer
We derive synthetic electrical conductivity, seismic velocity, and density distributions from the results of martian mantle convection models affected by basin-forming meteorite im…
The habitability of stagnant-lid Earths around dwarf stars
Mareike Godolt, Nicola Tosi, Barbara Stracke +4
The habitability of a planet depends on various factors, such as delivery of water during the formation, the co-evolution of the interior and the atmosphere, as well as the stellar…
Dynamical effects of multiple impacts: Large impacts on a Mars-like planet
Thomas Ruedas, Doris Breuer
The earliest stage of the evolution of a fully assembled planet is profoundly affected by a number of basin-forming impacts large enough to change the dynamics of its deeper interi…
"Isocrater" impacts: Conditions and mantle dynamical responses for different impactor types
Thomas Ruedas, Doris Breuer
Impactors of different types and sizes can produce a final crater of the same diameter on a planet under certain conditions. We derive the condition for such "isocrater impacts" fr…
Radioactive heat production of six geologically important nuclides
Thomas Ruedas
Heat production rates for the geologically important nuclides Al, K, Fe, Th, U, and U are calculated on the basis of recent…
