Geometrical structure and thermal conductivity of dust aggregates formed via ballistic cluster-cluster aggregation
Sota Arakawa, Masaki Takemoto, Taishi Nakamoto
We herein report a theoretical study of the geometrical structure of porous dust aggregates formed via ballistic cluster-cluster aggregation (BCCA). We calculated the gyration radi…
Rocky Planetesimal Formation Aided by Organics
Kazuaki Homma, Satoshi Okuzumi, Taishi Nakamoto +1
The poor stickiness of silicate dust grains is a major obstacle to the formation of rocky planetesimals. In this study, we examine the possibility that silicate grains with an orga…
Compound chondrule formation in optically thin shock waves
Sota Arakawa, Taishi Nakamoto
Shock-wave heating within the solar nebula is one of the leading candidates for the source of chondrule-forming events. Here, we examine the possibility of compound chondrule forma…
Thermal conductivity and coordination number of compressed dust aggregates
Sota Arakawa, Misako Tatsuuma, Naoya Sakatani +1
Understanding the heat transfer mechanism within dust aggregates is of great importance for many subjects in planetary science. We calculated the coordination number and the therma…
