The Collisional Evolution of Objects Captured in the Outer Asteroid Belt During the Late Heavy Bombardment
Abstract
New dynamical models of the lunar late heavy bombardment suggest that numerous comets were implanted in the outer asteroid belt 3.9 G.y. ago. Using collisional models, we show this result is consistent with observations.
