Figure 2: Outcome of the simulation with the molten Moon located at 3 Earth radii and a surface temperature of 1800 K. The video shows the temporal evolution of the surface density of the circum-Earth disk, with green circles indicating the lunar physical radius and the Hill sphere. The system is presented in the rotating frame with the Moon.
Figure 4: Outcome of the simulation with the molten Moon located at 8 Earth radii and a surface temperature of 1800 K. The video shows the temporal evolution of the surface density of the circum-Earth disk, with green circles indicating the lunar physical radius and the Hill sphere. The system is presented in the rotating frame with the Moon.
