Sesquinary catenae on the Martian satellite Phobos from reaccretion of escaping ejecta
Nature Communications, 2016 The origin of the numerous linear grooves and craters that litter the Martian moon Phobos' surface remains enigmatic. Here, by modelling low-velocity escaping ejecta from impacts to Phobos, the authors show that several of these chains can be explained ...

The Mean Moment of Inertia for Irregularly Shaped Phobos and Its Application to the Constraint for the Two-Layer Interior Structure for the Martian Moon [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2023 The interior structure of Phobos has been the subject of debate in recent years, with the moment of inertia being a determining factor. To study this structure, we modeled Phobos with a two-layer structure and calculated its mean density and moment of ...

Origin of Phobos and Deimos by the impact of a Vesta-to-Ceres sized body with Mars
Science Advances, 2018 Phobos and Deimos are likely remnants of a low-mass disk generated by the impact of a Vesta to Ceres-sized body with Mars. It has been proposed that Mars’ moons formed from a disk produced by a large impact with the planet. However, whether such an event

Improved version of the PHOBOS Glauber Monte Carlo
SoftwareX, 2015 “Glauber” models are used to calculate geometric quantities in the initial state of heavy ion collisions, such as impact parameter, number of participating nucleons and initial eccentricity.

Excitation of Tumbling in Phobos and Deimos. [PDF]
Icarus, 2020 Mass-spring model simulations are used to investigate past spin states of a viscoelastic Phobos and Deimos. From an initially tidally locked state, we find crossing of a spin-orbit resonance with Mars or a mean motion resonance with each other does not excite tumbling in Phobos or Deimos. However, once tumbling our simulations show that these moons can

Recent Results from PHOBOS [PDF]
Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2004 In this manuscript we give a short summary of recent physics results from PHOBOS. Particular emphasis is put on elliptic flow, fluctuations in the initial geometry and the recent measurements of elliptic flow fluctuations.

The importance of Phobos simulants: a review on our current knowledge
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Phobos, a satellite of Mars, was successfully studied by flyby, orbiter, and landing missions to the Red Planet, but several questions remain about its origin, composition, and relationship to Mars.
