Light from Shattered Worlds: Debris from Giant Impacts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 January 2014
Abstract
Large impacts in the outer parts of a planetary system will produce debris discs that display a strong, distinctive, asymmetry, which will last for 105 year timescales. Debris resulting from a large impact may be able to explain the asymmetries in some known debris discs that have hitherto been difficult to understand.
