Compound chondrule formation via collision of supercooled droplets

arXiv:1605.01437 · doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2016.04.041

Abstract

We present a novel model showing that compound chondrules are formed by collisions of supercooled droplets. This model reproduces two prominent observed features of compound chondrules: the nonporphyritic texture and the size ratio between two components.
