Simulations of giant impacts between 0.2-4 Earth-mass planets yield post-impact luminosities of 5e-5 to 0.1 L_sun cooling over 1-2000 days, predicting 0-14 detections in Gaia DR4 and a comparable number in LSST.

Can giant impacts be directly detected in other star systems?
Simulations of giant impacts between 0.2-4 Earth-mass planets yield post-impact luminosities of 5e-5 to 0.1 L_sun cooling over 1-2000 days, predicting 0-14 detections in Gaia DR4 and a comparable number in LSST.
