COLLISIONS BETWEEN GRAVITY-DOMINATED BODIES. I. OUTCOME REGIMES AND SCALING LAWS (2011, background): “Similarly, the role of pre-impact spin during collisions has received modest attention (Leinhardt et al. 2000; Canup 2008).”
Building the terrestrial planets: Constrained accretion in the inner Solar System (2009, methodology): “However, we note that the simulations of Canup (2004, 2008) were specifically designed to reproduce the details of the Earth-Moon system, in particular its high specific angular momentum and the Moon’s small core.”
The Origin of the Moon Within a Terrestrial Synestia (2018, background): “By incorporating more multiphase physics, Charnoz and Michaut (2015) showed that viscous spreading of material beyond the Roche limit is slower than calculated by Salmon and Canup (2012, 2014) and that more mass from”
