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…

Effects of impact and target parameters on the results of a kinetic impactor: predictions for the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission

Angela M. Stickle, Mallory E. DeCoster, Christoph Burger +30

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will impact into the asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, 2022 as a test of the kinetic impactor technique for planetary defen…

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…

Scaling laws for the geometry of an impact-induced magma ocean

Miki Nakajima, Gregor J. Golabek, Kai Wünnemann +6

Here, we develop scaling laws for (1) the distribution of impact-induced heat within the mantle and (2) shape of the impact-induced melt based on more than 100 smoothed particle hy…

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…

Realistic collisional water transport during terrestrial planet formation: Self-consistent modeling by an N-body--SPH hybrid code

C. Burger, Á. Bazsó, C. M. Schäfer

According to current evidence the water inventory of Earth (and perhaps similar exoplanets) was transported inwards via (giant) collisions during the chaotic final phase of planet…
