Initial setup of the Lrf12Molten simulation.The impact parameter, impact velocity, and spin of the target planet is in this case set to b = − 0.3, vimp = 20 km s−1 and Ptar = 2.3 h respectively.The color rendering represents the temperature. Upper figure: equatorial view of the initial setup. The cross section that can be seen represents the region in which particles are rendered, which is done to improve the clarity of the following figures. Lower figure: top-down view of the initial setup and is the viewpoint in the upcoming figures.
