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…
