| Abstract: | We review situations where large scale impacts between bodies of planetary sizes may
arise, or have been invoked to explain structures that seem to have arisen after such
impacts. We are interested in the orbital variations for the special case the impacting
objects is in some sense absorbed by the impacted body, whose mass is larger. Under rather
strong simplifications we calculate such variations using the condition of conservation of
either the total energy or the total momentum and Kepler's third equation. Results are
discussed in terms also of such events having possibly taken place in the solar system. |
