Impact on a 3 Gyr-old Earth-sized planet with a small core Rc = 0.2R and L = 25 km (a) and 100 km (b). In each panel, the left half displays the melt fraction and the right half the melting mechanism, with the materials shown at their pre-impact positions. Basaltic crust is shown in light gray and dunitic mantle material in medium-shaded gray. The melt generation farther than 5L from the center of the melt region below the impact point (approximated by z = L) is neglected. -- astro-ph.EP
