Accretion Model Planet formation Planetary Simulation

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the search for free or open-source planetary accretion models, specifically for simulating solar system formation and evolution. The user initially struggled to find suitable options but discovered a potential solution in a simulator called Disksim. There is an expressed interest in planetary geochemistry as well, though the primary focus remains on accretion models. The user plans to test Disksim to see if it meets their needs. Overall, the thread highlights the quest for accessible tools in planetary science simulation.

Hi - having come up blank when searching, I figured I'd ask here: do you know of any (free, preferably open source) planetary accretion models/simulators available for download? I'm primarily looking for solar system formation / evolution rather than planetary geochemistry (although I'd have an interest in the latter as well :) ).

Thanks!

Hmm, think I found one: disksim. Will give it a shot :)

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.

Thread 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
