Tidal Evolution of the Evection Resonance/Quasi-Resonance and the Angular Momentum of the Earth-Moon System
Raluca Rufu, Robin M. Canup
Forming the Moon by a high-angular momentum impact may explain the Earth-Moon isotopic similarities, however, the post-impact angular momentum needs to be reduced by a factor of 2…

Analytical Model for the Tidal Evolution of the Evection Resonance and the Timing of Resonance Escape
William R. Ward, Robin M. Canup, Raluca Rufu
A high-angular momentum giant impact with the Earth can produce a Moon with a silicate isotopic composition nearly identical to that of Earth's mantle, consistent with observations…
