The physics of protoplanetesimal dust agglomerates. X. High-velocity collisions between small and large dust agglomerates as growth barrier
Rainer Schräpler, Jürgen Blum, Sebastiaan Krijt +1
In a protoplanetary disk, dust aggregates in the m to mm size range possess mean collision velocities of 10 to 60 ms with respect to dm- to m-size bodies. We performed la…
The stratification of regolith on celestial objects
Rainer Schräpler, Jürgen Blum, Ingo von Borstel +1
All atmosphere-less planetary bodies are covered with a dust layer, the so-called regolith, which determines the optical, mechanical and thermal properties of their surface. These…
The physics of protoplanetesimal dust agglomerates. VII The low-velocity collision behavior of large dust agglomerates
Rainer Schräpler, Jürgen Blum, Alexander Seizinger +1
We performed micro-gravity collision experiments in our laboratory drop-tower using 5-cm-sized dust agglomerates with volume filling factors of 0.3 and 0.4, respectively. This work…
The Physics of Protoplanetesimal Dust Agglomerates. Vi. Erosion of Large Aggregates as a Source of Micrometer-Sized Particles
Rainer Schräpler, Jürgen Blum
Observed protoplanetary disks consist of a large amount of micrometer-sized particles. Dullemond and Dominik (2005) pointed out for the first time the difficulty in explaining the…
