Simulation data from: A systematic survey of moon-forming giant impacts. II: Rotating bodies

In the leading theory of lunar formation, known as the giant impact hypothesis, a collision between two planet-size objects resulted in a young Earth surrounded by a circumplanetary debris disk from which the Moon later accreted. The range of giant impacts that could conceivably explain the Earth-Moon system is limited by the set of known physical and geochemical constraints. However, while several distinct Moon-forming impact scenarios have been proposed---from small, high-velocity impactors to low-velocity mergers between equal-mass objects---none of these scenarios have been successful at explaining the full set of known constraints, especially without invoking one or more controversial post-impact processes. Allowing for pre-impact rotation of the colliding bodies has been suggested as an avenue which may produce more promising collision outcomes. However, to date, only limited studies of pre-impact rotation have been conducted. Therefore, in the second paper of this series, we focu..., The data consists of initial conditions and simulation outputs from 3D hydrodynamic simulations performed with Gasoline., , # Simulation Data from: A Systematic Survey of Moon-Forming Giant Impacts.

## Description of the data and file structure

The data consists of initial conditions and simulation outputs.

### Naming convention of directories

The directory names are constructed from the relevant pre-impact parameters of the simulation. Example:

DD_J1000_G0100_V01000_B07202_OMEGA0900

* DD: Orientation of the angular momentum vectors, can be any of DD, DN, DU, ND, NN, NU, UD, UN, UU
* J1000: Total angular momentum in units of the Earth-Moon angular momentum. Read as 1.000 JEM
* G0100: Impactor-to-target mass fraction gamma. Read as 0.100
* V01000: Asymptotic relative velocity at infinity in units of the mutual escape velocity of the two bodies. Read as 0.1000 vesc
* B07202: Asymptotic impact paramter at infinity in units of the gravitational focusing radius. Read as 0.7202 Rgrav
* OMEGA0900: Angular v...
