Thermal and Photophoretic Properties of Dust Mantled Chondrules and Sorting in the Solar Nebula
Christoph Loesche, Gerhard Wurm
Many chondrules are found to be surrounded by a fine grained rim. Supposedly, these rims were acquired from dust accreted to the chondrules in a protoplanetary disk. In numerical s…
Experiments on centimeter-sized dust aggregates and their implications for planetesimal formation
Thorsten Meisner, Jens Teiser, Gerhard Wurm
The first macroscopic bodies in protoplanetary disks are dust aggregates. We report on a number of experimental studies with dust aggregates formed from micron-size quartz grains.…
Crossing barriers in planetesimal formation: The growth of mm-dust aggregates with large constituent grains
Tim Jankowski, Gerhard Wurm, Thorben Kelling +4
Collisions of mm-size dust aggregates play a crucial role in the early phases of planet formation. We developed a laboratory setup to observe collisions of dust aggregates levitati…
