Fragmentation of colliding planetesimals with water content
Thomas I. Maindl, Rudolf Dvorak, Christoph Schäfer +1
We investigate the outcome of collisions of Ceres-sized planetesimals composed of a rocky core and a shell of water ice. These collisions are not only relevant for explaining the f…

The role of material strength in collisions -- Comparing solid body and hydrodynamic physics for simulating collisions of planetesimals with icy shells
Thomas I. Maindl, Rudolf Dvorak, Roland Speith +1
Context. We investigate the effects of including material strength in multi-material planetesimal collisions. Aims. The differences between strengthless material models and includi…
