One-dimensional calculations of a large impact on Uranus

The large obliquity (98°) of the planet Uranus suggests that it may have suffered an oblique impact by a large body during its formation. Considerations of angular momentum and possible impact parameters show that a 1- to 2 M ⊗ impactor body would be sufficient to account for the total angular momen...
