Lifting of Tribocharged Grains by Martian Winds
Maximilian Kruss, Tim Salzmann, Eric Parteli +4
It is a long-standing open question whether electrification of wind-blown sand due to tribocharging - the generation of electric charges on the surface of sand grains by particle-p…
Aggregation of Sub-mm Particles in Strong Electric Fields under Microgravity Conditions
Felix Jungmann, Maximilian Kruss, Jens Teiser +1
Dust emission mechanisms as one aspect of wind-driven particle motion on planetary surfaces are still poorly understood. The microphysics is important though as it determines dust…
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…
