Atmospheric Loss during Giant Impacts: Mechanisms and Scaling of Near- and Far-field Loss

Atmospheric Loss during Giant Impacts: Mechanisms and Scaling of Near- and Far-field Loss

The primary epoch of planetary accretion concludes with giant impacts—highly energetic collisions between protoplanets that can play a key role in shaping a planet’s inventory of volatile elements. Previous work has shown that single giant impacts have the potential to eject a significant amount of...
