Repository Documentation

This repository and the accompanying archive contain the input data for the simulations conducted in the research paper (DOI: 10.3847/PSJ/adcab2). Each folder in the archive corresponds to a specific type of simulation discussed in the paper, structured as follows:

Folder Structure and Contents

1. Mars Inclination

• Description: Contains input data for simulations associated with Figure 5 of the paper.
• Contents:
  • Multiple subfolders, each corresponding to a different inclination angle of Mars considered in the study.
  • Each subfolder includes input files for 1,000 unique simulations.

2. multi_fragments

• Description: Holds input data for simulations related to Figure 6 of the paper.
• Contents:
  • Several subfolders, each representing a different number of post-collisional fragments analyzed in the simulations.
  • Each subfolder contains input files for 1,000 unique simulations.

3. old_OE and new_OE

• Description: These folders provide input data for simulations associated with Figures 1, 3, and 4 of the paper.
• Contents:
  • old_OE:
    • Contains input files for simulations replicating the distribution models of Hyodo et al. (2022).
  • new_OE:
    • Includes input files for simulations based on the new distribution model described in Section 2.3.1 of the paper.
  • Each folder contains three subdirectories, each corresponding to a distinct semi-major axis value for Phobos used in the simulations. Each subdirectory holds input data for 600 different simulations.

4. Tides

• Description: This folder contains the data for simulations associated with Figure 7 of the paper
• Contents:
  • Each folder contains three subdirectories, each corresponding to a distinct semi-major axis value for Phobos used in the simulations. Each subdirectory holds input data for 600 different simulations.
