On the Origin of Jupiter’s Fuzzy Core: Constraints from N-body, Impact, and Evolution Simulations

It has been suggested that Jupiter’s fuzzy core could be a result of a giant impact. Here, we investigate the expected impact conditions from N -body simulations. We then use state-of-the-art smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations to investigate the results of impacts with different conditions...
