Opacity of fluffy dust aggregates
Akimasa Kataoka, Satoshi Okuzumi, Hidekazu Tanaka +1
Context. Dust grains coagulate to form dust aggregates in protoplanetary disks. Their porosity can be extremely high in the disks. Although disk emission may come from fluffy dust…
Large Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Homogeneous Nucleation
Jürg Diemand, Raymond Angélil, Kyoko K. Tanaka +1
We present results from large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of homogeneous vapor-to-liquid nucleation. The simulations contain between one and eight billion Lennard-Jon…
Fluffy dust forms icy planetesimals by static compression
Akimasa Kataoka, Hidekazu Tanaka, Satoshi Okuzumi +1
Context: In planetesimal formation theory, several barriers have been proposed, which are bouncing, fragmentation, and radial drift problems. To understand the structure evolution…
Static compression of porous dust aggregates
Akimasa Kataoka, Hidekazu Tanaka, Satoshi Okuzumi +1
Context: In protoplanetary disks, dust grains coagulate with each other and grow to form aggregates. As these aggregates grow by coagulation, their filling factor ϕdecreases down t…
