ARISE: A granular matter experiment on the International Space Station
Tobias Steinpilz, Grzegorz Musiolik, Maximilian Kruss +8
We developed an experiment to study different aspects of granular matter under microgravity. The 1.5U small experiment was carried out on the International Space Station. About 350…
Wind erosion on Mars and other small terrestrial planets
Maximilian Kruss, Grzegorz Musiolik, Tunahan Demirci +2
We carried out wind tunnel experiments on parabolic flights with 100 m Mojave Mars simulant sand. The experiments result in shear stress thresholds and erosion rates for varying…
Onset of planet formation in the warm inner disk -- Colliding dust aggregates at high temperatures
Tunahan Demirci, Corinna Krause, Jens Teiser +1
Collisional growth of dust occurs in all regions of protoplanetary disks with certain materials dominating between various condensation lines. The sticking properties of the preval…
Sticking Properties of Silicates in Planetesimal Formation Revisited
Tobias Steinpilz, Jens Teiser, Gerhard Wurm
In the past, laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations showed a mismatch in derived sticking properties of silicates in the context of planetesimal formation. It has been…
A challenge for Martian lightning: Limits of collisional charging at low pressure
Gerhard Wurm, Lars Schmidt, Tobias Steinpilz +2
Collisional charging is one potential initial step in generating lightning. In this work, we study the charging of colliding monodisperse, spherical basalt grains depending on ambi…
Dense Particle Clouds in Laboratory Experiments in Context of Drafting and Streaming Instability
Niclas Schneider, Gerhard Wurm, Jens Teiser +2
The streaming instability, as an example of instabilities driven by particle feedback on a gas flow, has been proven to have a major role in controlling the formation of planetesim…
