Description

In the late stages of terrestrial planet formation, pairwise collisions between planetary-sized bodies act as the fundamental agent of planet growth. These collisions can lead to either growth or disruption of the bodies involved and are largely responsible for shaping the final characteristics of planets. Despite their critical role in planet formation, an accurate treatment of collisions has yet to be realized. Therefore, we simulated a new set of 10,700 smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of pairwise collisions between rotating, differentiated bodies. This dataset is an order of magnitude larger than any previous collision dataset and is intended to serve as a training dataset for machine learning models, so that accurate surrogate models for planetary-scale collisions can be developed.
