羅賓·克納

羅賓·M·克納（英語：Robin M. Canup，1968年11月20日—）是美國籍的天文物理學家。她於杜克大學取得理學學士的學位，並在科羅拉多大學波德分校取得博士學位。她主要的研究領域涉及行星和衛星的起源^[1]。在2003年，她獲頒Harold C. Urey Prize^[2]。

克納為眾所周知的研究是基於巨大撞擊假說，並涉及有關建模測試，模擬行星實際上是如何的碰撞^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]。克納認為地球和月球形成於兩個行星結構體的大規模碰撞，每個個體都大於火星，並且是再碰撞才形成現在我們所謂的地球；而且再碰撞之後，包圍在地球附近的物質結合起來，形成了月球^[7]。她寫了一本關於地球和月球起源的書^[8]。克納還出版了描述冥王星和冥衛一起源於巨大撞擊的研究^[9]。

克納也是有才能（學識淵博）的芭蕾舞者，並且在完成她的論文一週後，擔任博爾德芭蕾舞團維妮（Coppélia）劇中的主角^[10]。
