Investigation of the initial state of the Moon-forming disk: Bridging SPH simulations and hydrostatic models
- M. Nakajima, D. Stevenson
- Physics
- 14 January 2014
According to the standard giant impact hypothesis, the Moon formed from a partially vaporized disk generated by a collision between the proto-Earth and a Mars-sized impactor. The initial structure of… Expand
Melting and mixing states of the Earth’s mantle after the Moon-forming impact
- M. Nakajima, D. Stevenson
- Geology, Physics
- 16 June 2015
The Earth's Moon is thought to have formed by an impact between the Earth and an impactor around 4.5 billion years ago. This impact could have been so energetic that it could have mixed and… Expand
Origin of the Earth and Moon
- M. Nakajima
- Geology
- 2016
According to the giant impact hypothesis, the Moon formed from a disk created by an impact between the proto-Earth and an impactor. Three major models for this hypothesis are (a) standard model: a… Expand
Origin and Evolution of Water in the Moon's Interior
- E. Hauri, A. E. Saal, +4 authors M. Voyer
- Geology
- 7 September 2017
Nearly forty years after the return of the first lunar samples to Earth, improvements in laboratory detection limits made possible the first definitive discovery of magmatic water in lunar volcanic… Expand
Impact-Induced Melting by Giant Impact Events
- L. Manske, N. Güldemeister, M. Nakajima, K. Wünnemann, C. Burger
- Geology
- 1 April 2018
Large impact events have influenced the chemical and thermal evolution of the terrestrial planets [1]. The collision of a giant cosmic body with a proto-planet adds and/or removes material and heats… Expand

Near/Far Side Asymmetry in the Tidally Heated Moon.
- A. Quillen, L. Martini, M. Nakajima
- Geology, Medicine
- Icarus
- 25 October 2018
Using viscoelastic mass spring model simulations to track heat distribution inside a tidally perturbed body, we measure the near/far side asymmetry of heating in the crust of a spin synchronous Moon… Expand
Formation, stratification, and mixing of the cores of Earth and Venus
- S. Jacobson, D. Rubie, J. Hernlund, A. Morbidelli, M. Nakajima
- Geology, Physics
- 15 September 2017
Abstract Earth possesses a persistent, internally-generated magnetic field, whereas no trace of a dynamo has been detected on Venus, at present or in the past, although a high surface temperature and… Expand
Inefficient volatile loss from the Moon-forming disk: Reconciling the giant impact hypothesis and a wet Moon
- M. Nakajima, D. Stevenson
- Geology, Physics
- 1 April 2018
The Earth's Moon is thought to have formed from a circumterrestrial disk generated by a giant impact between the proto-Earth and an impactor approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Since this impact was… Expand
Detection of muons and K: mesons from e+e- collisions using the endcap RPC module in the Belle Detector
The BELLE experiment at KEKB has collected beam collision data from 1 June through 4 August 1999, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 pb -1 , and the data contain approximately 10,000 e +… Expand
Boulder stranding in ejecta launched by an impact generated seismic pulse
- E. Wright, A. Quillen, +6 authors E. Asphaug
- Geology, Physics
- 4 December 2018
Abstract We consider how an impact generated seismic pulse affects the surface of an asteroid distant from the impact site. With laboratory experiments on dry polydisperse gravel mixtures, we track… Expand
