Phobos and Deimos are the two small moons of Mars. Recent works have shown that they can accrete within an impact-generated disk. However, the detailed structure and initial thermodynamic properties of the disk are poorly understood. In this paper, we perform high-resolution SPH simulations of the Martian moon-forming giant impact that can also form the Borealis basin. This giant impact heats up the disk material (around similar to 2000 K in temperature) with an entropy increase of similar to 1500 JK(-1) kg(-1). Thus, the disk material should be mostly molten, though a tiny fraction of disk material (
