Experimental study of clusters in dense granular gas and implications for the particle stopping time in protoplanetary disks
Niclas Schneider, Grzegorz Musiolik, Jonathan E. Kollmer +6
In protoplanetary disks, zones of dense particle configuration promote planet formation. Solid particles in dense clouds alter their motion through collective effects and back reac…
A Smoking Gun for Planetesimal Formation: Charge Driven Growth into a New Size Range
Jens Teiser, Maximilian Kruss, Felix Jungmann +1
Collisions electrically charge grains which promotes growth by coagulation. We present aggregation experiments with three large ensembles of basalt beads ($150\,μ\mathrm{m} - 180\,…
Laboratory Impact Splash Experiments to Simulate Asteroid Surfaces
Tabea Bogdan, Jonathan E. Kollmer, Jens Teiser +2
Granular material that is bound by the low gravity of a small asteroid is mobilized by slow velocity impacts. These splashes generated by impacts might play an important role in sc…
Composition and Size Dependent Sorting in Preplanetary Growth: Seeding the Formation of Mercury-like Planets
Maximilian Kruss, Gerhard Wurm
In an earlier work, we found that large metallic iron fractions in dust aggregates and strong magnetic fields boost preplanetary growth. This sets an initial bias for the formation…
ARISE: A granular matter experiment on the International Space Station
Tobias Steinpilz, Grzegorz Musiolik, Maximilian Kruss +8
We developed an experiment to study different aspects of granular matter under microgravity. The 1.5U small experiment was carried out on the International Space Station. About 350…
Wind erosion on Mars and other small terrestrial planets
Maximilian Kruss, Grzegorz Musiolik, Tunahan Demirci +2
We carried out wind tunnel experiments on parabolic flights with 100 m Mojave Mars simulant sand. The experiments result in shear stress thresholds and erosion rates for varying…
