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…
