Scientific paper

We have worked on giant impacts between two 0.1 M⊕ differentiated icy planetary embryos with a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code. Our results have shown that the merging criterion for icy protoplanets is the same as that of rocky protoplants, which is investigated by Agnor & Asphaug (2004) [1]. In our code, GRAPE is used to decrease computational time.
