This project investigates the physics behind the Giant Impact hypothesis, which explains the formation of the Moon. It utilizes advanced simulations to understand the thermodynamics of rock-forming minerals and the evolution of the protolunar disk, aiming to refine models of Earth-Moon composition.
Very little is understood of the physics governing the Giant Impact and the subsequent formation of the Moon.
According to this model an impactor hit the proto-Earth; the resulting energy was enough to melt and partially vaporize the two bodies generating a large protolunar disk, from which the Earth-Moon couple formed.
Hydrodynamic simulations of the impact and the subsequent evolution of the protolunar disk are currently based on models of equations of state and phase diagrams that are unconst…
