Free Collisions in a Microgravity Many-Particle Experiment. IV. - Three-Dimensional Analysis of Collision Properties

René Weidling, Jürgen Blum

The bouncing barrier, a parameter combination at which dust particles in the protoplanetary disk always rebound in mutual collisions, is one of the crucial steps of planet formatio…

The Suborbital Particle Aggregation and Collision Experiment (SPACE): Studying the Collision Behavior of Submillimeter-Sized Dust Aggregates on the Suborbital Rocket Flight REXUS 12

Julie Brisset, Daniel Heißelmann, Stefan Kothe +2

The Suborbital Particle Aggregation and Collision Experiment (SPACE) is a novel approach to study the collision properties of submillimeter-sized, highly porous dust aggregates. Th…

Free Collisions in a Microgravity Many-Particle Experiment III: The Collision Behavior of sub-Millimeter-Sized Dust Aggregates

Stefan Kothe, Jürgen Blum, René Weidling +1

We conducted micro-gravity experiments to study the outcome of collisions between sub-mm-sized dust agglomerates consisting of μm-sized SiO2 monomer grains at velocities of several…

Free Collisions in a Microgravity Many-Particle Experiment. I. Dust Aggregate Sticking at Low Velocities

René Weidling, Carsten Güttler, Jürgen Blum

Over the past years the processes involved in the growth of planetesimals have extensively been studied in the laboratory. Based on these experiments, a dust-aggregate collision mo…

Free Collisions in a Microgravity Many-Particle Experiment. II. The Collision Dynamics of Dust-Coated Chondrules

Eike Beitz, Carsten Güttler, René Weidling +1

The formation of planetesimals in the early Solar System is hardly understood, and in particular the growth of dust aggregates above millimeter sizes has recently turned out to be…

The Physics of Protoplanetesimal Dust Agglomerates. III. Compaction in Multiple Collisions

René Weidling, Carsten Güttler, Jürgen Blum +1

To study the evolution of protoplanetary dust aggregates, we performed experiments with up to 2600 collisions between single, highly-porous dust aggregates and a solid plate. The d…
