Blinding Lights: Simulation-Based Evidence for Terrestrial Giant Impacts as Astronomically Observable Events
Lucy Taylor, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +1
Giant impacts (collisions between planet-sized bodies) are violent events that fundamentally alter the properties of planets and the structure of planetary systems. Observations of…
Giant impacts preferentially remove low-mass atmospheres: a generalised scaling law for impact-driven atmospheric loss
Matthew J. Roche, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +1
Impact-driven atmospheric loss plays a key role in shaping the diversity of planetary atmospheres. However, existing prescriptions for calculating loss from a given impact neglect…
Growing Planets Produce Extreme Dust Signatures
Philip J. Carter, Zoë M. Leinhardt
Collisions between planetary bodies are essential to the assembly of rocky planets like the Earth, but they are extremely difficult to observe. We therefore rely on indirect signat…
A "New Hope" for Moon Formation: Presenting a Multiple Impact Pathway
Harrison Davies, Philip J. Carter, Louis Eddershaw +2
The leading hypothesis for the origin of the Moon, that of a single giant impact, faces significant challenges. These include either the need for an impactor with a near-identical…
Atmospheric loss during giant impacts: mechanisms and scaling of near- and far-field loss
Matthew J. Roche, Simon J. Lock, Jingyao Dou +3
The primary epoch of planetary accretion concludes with giant impacts - highly energetic collisions between proto-planets that can play a key role in shaping a planet's inventory o…
Exploring the catastrophic regime: thermodynamics and disintegration in head-on planetary collisions
Jingyao Dou, Philip J Carter, Simon Lock +1
Head-on giant impacts (collisions between planet-size bodies) are frequently used to study the planet formation process as they present an extreme configuration where the two colli…
Formation of super-Mercuries via giant impacts
Jingyao Dou, Philip J. Carter, Zoë M. Leinhardt
During the final stage of planetary formation, different formation pathways of planetary embryos could significantly influence the observed variations in planetary densities. Of th…
Post-Giant Impact Planetesimals Sustaining Extreme Debris Disks
Lewis Watt, Zoë M. Leinhardt, Philip J. Carter
Extreme debris disks can show short term behaviour through the evolution and clearing of small grains produced in giant impacts, and potentially a longer period of variability caus…
A super-massive Neptune-sized planet
L. Naponiello, L. Mancini, A. Sozzetti +55
Neptune-sized planets exhibit a wide range of compositions and densities, depending onf cators related to their formation and evolution history, such as the distance from their hos…
Explaining the variability of WD 1145+017 with simulations of asteroid tidal disruption
Dimitri Veras, Philip J. Carter, Zoe M. Leinhardt +1
Post-main-sequence planetary science has been galvanised by the striking variability, depth and shape of the photometric transit curves due to objects orbiting white dwarf WD 1145+…
Modelling circumbinary protoplanetary disks II. Gas disk feedback on planetesimal dynamical and collisional evolution in the circumbinary systems Kepler-16 and 34
S. Lines, Z. M. Leinhardt, C. Baruteau +2
Aims. We investigate the feasibility of planetesimal growth in circumbinary protoplanetary disks around the observed systems Kepler- 16 and Kepler-34 under the gravitational influe…
