Description

Dataset supporting research article "Cascading Habitability: Initial Investigation of the Role of Disruptive Impacts on Ocean Generation and Longevity in Icy Moons":

  • IcyDwarf_v24.7.2 used to obtain the data (also available from https://github.com/MarcNeveu/IcyDwarf)
    • README.md indicates how to interpret output files in Cascading_Habitability_Data folder (see below).
  • In Cascading_Habitability_Data folder:
    • 211215 Pre-impact conditions for SPH: IcyDwarf pre-impact simulations to obtain initial temperature profile and state of differentiation to initialize SPH simulations (Outputs80Kdry run was used)
    • 240722_Paper_sims:
      • IcyDwarf no-impact (New* folders) and post-impact simulations (Post* folders)
      • SPH output processing* .xslx: Excel spreadsheets with step-by-step (tab by tab) conversions of SPH outputs into IcyDwarf post-impact inputs
      • Orbit change upon impact.xslx: Excel spreadsheet with calculation of upper bounds on change in semi-major axis and eccentricity upon impact.
