Residual Neural Networks for the Prediction of Planetary Collision Outcomes
Philip M. Winter, Christoph Burger, Sebastian Lehner +3
Fast and accurate treatment of collisions in the context of modern N-body planet formation simulations remains a challenging task due to inherently complex collision processes. We…
Building Terrestrial Planets: Why results of perfect-merging simulations are not quantitatively reliable approximations to accurate modeling of terrestrial planet formation
Nader Haghighipour, Thomas I. Maindl
Although it is accepted that perfect-merging is not a realistic outcome of collisions, some researchers state that perfect-merging simulations can still be considered as quantitati…
Protoplanet Collisions: Statistical Properties of Ejecta
Samuele Crespi, Ian Dobbs-Dixon, Nikolaos Georgakarakos +4
The last phase of the formation of rocky planets is dominated by collisions among Moon- to Mars-sized planetary embryos. Simulations of this phase need to handle the difficulty of…
Loss and fractionation of noble gas isotopes and moderately volatile elements from planetary embryos and early Venus, Earth and Mars
H. Lammer, M. Scherf, H. Kurokawa +12
Here we discuss the current state of knowledge on how atmospheric escape processes can fractionate noble gas isotopes and moderately volatile rock-forming elements that populate pr…
Water delivery to dry protoplanets by hit-and-run collisions
C. Burger, T. I. Maindl, C. M. Schäfer
Final water inventories of newly formed terrestrial planets are shaped by their collision history. A setting where volatiles are transported from beyond the snowline to habitable-z…
Stability of a rotating asteroid housing a space station
Thomas I. Maindl, Roman Miksch, Birgit Loibnegger
Today there are numerous studies on asteroid mining. They elaborate on selecting the right objects, prospecting missions, potential asteroid redirection, and the mining process its…
