Forming Mercury by a grazing giant collision involving similar mass bodies
Patrick Franco, Fernando Roig, Othon C. Winter +3
The origin of Mercury still remains poorly understood compared to the other rocky planets of the Solar System. One of the most relevant constraints that any formation model has to…
Overstability of the 2:1 mean motion resonance: Exploring disc parameters with hydrodynamic simulations
Zahra Afkanpour, Sareh Ataiee, Alexandros Ziampras +5
Resonant planetary migration in protoplanetary discs can lead to an interplay between the resonant interaction of planets and their disc torques called overstability. While theoret…
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…
Binary orbital evolution driven by a circumbinary disc
Anna B. T. Penzlin, Wilhelm Kley, Hugo Audiffren +1
The question whether the interaction of a circumbinary disc with the central binary system leads to shrinking or expansion of the binary orbit has attracted considerable interest a…
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…
Moonfalls: Collisions between the Earth and its past moons
Uri Malamud, Hagai B. Perets, Christoph Schafer +1
During the last stages of the terrestrial planet formation, planets grow mainly through giant-impacts with large planetary embryos. The Earth's Moon was suggested to form through o…
