Machine learning applied to simulations of collisions between rotating, differentiated planets. In the late stages of terrestrial planet formation, pairwise collisions between planetary-sized bodies act as the fundamental agent of planet growth. This paper written by Swiss researchers shows that data-driven emulation techniques are capable of classifying and predicting the outcome of collisions with high accuracy and are generalizable to any quantifiable post-impact quantity. This image shows the diversity of collision outcomes.
