Photophoresis in the circumjovian disk and its impact on the orbital configuration of the Galilean satellites
Sota Arakawa, Yuhito Shibaike
Jupiter has four large regular satellites called the Galilean satellites: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The inner three of the Galilean satellites orbit in a 4:2:1 mean motio…
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…
Early formation of moons around large trans-Neptunian objects via giant impacts
Sota Arakawa, Ryuki Hyodo, Hidenori Genda
Recent studies have revealed that all large (over 1000 km in diameter) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) form satellite systems. Although the largest Plutonian satellite, Charon, is t…
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…
