一个磁化的,形成月球的巨大撞击

A Magnetized, Moon-Forming Giant Impact

P. D. Mullen, C. F. Gammie

摘要:

月球被认为是在行星质量体与原地球之间的巨大撞击之后形成的。在一个典型的巨大撞击场景中,一个由蒸汽、液体和固体碎片组成的圆盘在原地球周围形成,并在可能的几十年演变之后凝结形成月球。利用最先进的数值模拟,我们研究了磁场对月球形成的巨大撞击的动力学效应。我们表明,湍流产生的碰撞本身,剪切的边界层之间的碰撞后的碎片领域和原地球,和湍流的蒸汽组成部分的磁盘放大的领域动态显着的强度。磁驱动的湍流促进了原月盘中的角动量输运。碎片物质被吸积到原地球上,使月球形成的效率降低,而磁盘被迫扩展到更大的半径,在其外缘冷却。磁场加速了原月盘蒸汽成分的演化,加速了月球的形成。

英文摘要:

The Moon is believed to have formed in the aftermath of a giant impact between a planetary mass body and the proto-Earth. In a typical giant impact scenario, a disk of vapor, liquid, and solid debris forms around the proto-Earth and--after possibly decades of evolution--condenses to form the Moon. Using state-of-the-art numerical simulations, we investigate the dynamical effects of magnetic fields on the Moon-forming giant impact. We show that turbulence generated by the collision itself, shear in the boundary layer between the post-impact debris field and the proto-Earth, and turbulence in the vapor component of the disk amplify the field to dynamically significant strengths. Magnetically driven turbulence promotes angular momentum transport in the protolunar disk. Debris material is accreted onto the proto-Earth, making Moon formation less efficient, while the disk is forced to spread to larger radii, cooling at its outer edge. Magnetic fields speed the evolution of the vapor component of the protolunar disk and hasten the formation of the Moon.
