巨大撞击形成水星

Forming Mercury by Giant Impacts

Alice Chau, Christian Reinhardt, Ravit Helled, Joachim Gerhard Stadel

摘要:

水星的高铁岩比的起源仍然未知。在这项工作中,我们调查水星的形成,通过巨大的影响,并考虑一个单一的巨大的影响,一个打了就跑,在一个理论框架和多个碰撞的可能性。我们研究了标准碰撞参数(碰撞速度,质量比,碰撞参量),以及冲击器的组成和冷却的目标。研究发现,撞击物的成分对行星内的铁分布和目标的最终质量的影响高达15%,尽管由此产生的平均铁分数是相似的。我们认为,一个有效的巨大的影响,需要以高速度迎面而来,而在打了就跑的情况下,影响可以发生更接近最可能的碰撞角(45 $^{\circ}$)。它还表明,水星目前的铁岩比可能是多次碰撞的结果,其确切数量取决于碰撞参数。质量损失被发现是更显着的碰撞时,时间紧。

英文摘要:

The origin of Mercury's high iron-to-rock ratio is still unknown. In this work we investigate Mercury's formation via giant impacts and consider the possibilities of a single giant impact, a hit-and-run, and multiple collisions in one theoretical framework. We study the standard collision parameters (impact velocity, mass ratio, impact parameter), along with the impactor's composition and the cooling of the target. It is found that the impactor's composition affects the iron distribution within the planet and the final mass of the target by up to 15\%, although the resulting mean iron fraction is similar. We suggest that an efficient giant impact requires to be head-on with high velocities, while in the hit-and-run case the impact can occur closer to the most probable collision angle (45$^{\circ}$). It is also shown that Mercury's current iron-to-rock ratio can be a result of multiple-collisions, with their exact number depending on the collision parameters. Mass loss is found to be more significant when the collisions are tight in time.
