6 A canonical giant impact simulation: Oblique Mars mass impact at escape velocity (Asphaug & Canup 2001; Canup 2004, 2008) Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) Iron cores, silicate mantles; phase changes included in equation of state Gravity-dominated events; no material strength

8 Accretion of the Moon from a Disk Timescale: 1 to 100 s yr Accretion efficiency is low: 10-50% M disk Main problem: angular momentum out mass in The calculated Moons are too small. Distance (Roche radii 3R Earth ) Kokubo et al. 2010; Salmon & Canup 2012, 2015
9 Earth and Moon are Isotopic Twins Identical isotopes O Ti W Cr Si H volatile, large variations in solar nebula refractory, nucleosynthetic anomalies radiogenic (8.9 Ma), core formation radiogenic (3.7 Ma), variations in nebula moderately refractory, core formation volatile, large variations in solar nebula Each planetary body has a different isotopic signature. Lugmair & Shukolyukov 1998, Wiechert et al. 2001, Georg et al. 2007, Zhang et al. 2011, Saal et al W: Touboul et al but now Touboul et al. LPSC 2014 & Kleine et al. LPSC 2014
10 A Proposed Solution: Mix after the impact Pahlevan & Stevenson 2007
11 Why not reject the giant impact hypothesis for lunar origin?
12 A Giant Impact with High Angular Momentum 2-3 hour 2 half-earths Oblique, near V esc (Canup 2012) Fast-spinning Earth Small, fast impactor, near head-on (Ćuk & Stewart 2012) Both have post-impact Earth with 2 to 3-hr spin period. After Moon formation, an orbital resonance transfers angular momentum to the Sun. (Ćuk & Stewart 2012) Earth To Sun Moon
