Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Julien Monteux, Mark Jellinek and Catherine L. Johnson, 1 Laboratoire de Planetologie et de Geodynamique de Nantes, U.M.R. CNRS, FRANCE, 2 Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, CANADA, 3 Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, AZ. (julien.monteux@univ-nantes.fr) Giant impacts may have played an important role in the late history of terrestrial planet accretion. A collision between the Earth and a Mars-sized impactor can, for example, explain the origin of the Earth-Moon system [1]. A large impact removing part of the silicate mantle is one hypothesis to explain Mercury’s unusually large core / mantle radius ratio [2]. A giant impact is also an increasingly popular explanation for why the northern hemisphere of Mars has a lower average elevation and a thinner crust than the southern hemisphere [3, 4, 5]. Cratering statistics indicate that the ages of both the northern lowlands and southern highlands on Mars are similar and that these features formed by 4.4 Gyr before present [6]. Hence, at the time of the giant impact, it is plausible that both Mars and the impactor were differentiated with silicate mantles and iron cores. Such a large impact event is, thus, likely to have been followed by a merging of the cores of both bodies, a process which will have implications for the early magnetic field history of the planet. Indeed, Mars records evidence for an early and short lived (i.e. < few hundred Myr) internally generated magnetic field that ceased by ∼ 4.0 Ga [7]. The timing of the initiation of the martian dynamo strongly depends on the differentiation processes that occurred during the first few million years of the Martian history [8]. Here, we explore a possible link between the impact that formed the northern lowlands and the initiation or modulation of a core dynamo. We first characterize the dynamics and thermodynamics of merging of a sinking metallic diapir with an existing planetary core on a Mars-size planet following a giant impact. Next, we investigate how this merging process might influence the likelihood and style of dynamo action.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
