Abstract
We firstly developed a numerical simulation code for rocky body collisions. Then we investigated shapes of asteroids formed by various impacts through numerical simulations. We also analyzed shapes of actual asteroids and compare them with shapes of impact outcomes produced through our simulations. Finally we applied our simulations to the formation of the extremely elongated shape of 1I/‘Oumuamua. In this chapter, we summarize our study. We also state future prospects of our study such as application to other phenomena.
