The Role of Giant Impacts in Planet Formation
Travis S. J. Gabriel, Saverio Cambioni
Planets are expected to conclude their growth through a series of giant impacts: energetic, global events that significantly alter planetary composition and evolution. Computer mod…
Collision Chains among the Terrestrial Planets. III. Formation of the Moon
Erik Asphaug, Alexandre Emsenhuber, Saverio Cambioni +2
In the canonical model of Moon formation, a Mars-sized protoplanet "Theia" collides with proto-Earth at close to their mutual escape velocity and a common impact angl…
Collision Chains among the Terrestrial Planets. II. An Asymmetry between Earth and Venus
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Erik Asphaug, Saverio Cambioni +2
During the late stage of terrestrial planet formation, hit-and-run collisions are about as common as accretionary mergers, for expected velocities and angles of giant impacts. Aver…
The Effect of Inefficient Accretion on Planetary Differentiation
Saverio Cambioni, Seth A. Jacobson, Alexandre Emsenhuber +5
Pairwise collisions between terrestrial embryos are the dominant means of accretion during the last stage of planet formation. Hence, their realistic treatment in N-body studies is…
Nuclear Spectroscopy for the Exploration of Mars and Beyond
Katherine E. Mesick, Patrick J. Gasda, Travis S. J. Gabriel +2
Nuclear spectroscopy is the only instrumentation that provides bulk geochemical constraints at depth (up to one meter in the surface). These instruments identify and quantify water…
Realistic On-the-fly Outcomes of Planetary Collisions II: Bringing Machine Learning to N-body Simulations
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Saverio Cambioni, Erik Asphaug +3
Terrestrial planet formation theory is at a bottleneck, with the growing realization that pairwise collisions are treated far too simply. Here, and in our companion paper (Cambioni…
