Inefficient volatile loss from the Moon-forming disk: reconciling the giant impact hypothesis and a wet Moon
Miki Nakajima, David J. Stevenson
The Earth's Moon is thought to have formed from a circumterrestrial disk generated by a giant impact between the proto-Earth and an impactor approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Si…
Boulder Stranding in Ejecta Launched by an Impact Generated Seismic Pulse
Esteban Wright, Alice C. Quillen, Juliana South +6
We consider how an impact generated seismic pulse affects the surface of an asteroid distant from the impact site. With laboratory experiments on dry polydisperse gravel mixtures,…
Near/Far Side Asymmetry in the Tidally Heated Moon
Alice C. Quillen, Larkin Martini, Miki Nakajima
Using viscoelastic mass spring model simulations to track heat distribution inside a tidally perturbed body, we measure the asymmetry of heating in the crust of a spin synchronous…
