  1. The Formation of Planetesimals – the Laboratory Perspective Jürgen BlumInstitut für Geophysik und extraterrestrische PhysikTechnische Universität zu Braunschweig

  2. Introduction Large bodies in protoplanetary disks form by non-gravitational effects, i.e. by sticking collisions. The collisions among the dust grains are primarily caused by Brownian motion (~1 - 100 µm), differential drift motions (~100 µm – 1 km), and gas turbulence (predominantly important for equal-sized particles).

  8. The fractal growth regime (s1  s2  1 µm…1 mm; v  10-4…10-2 m/s)  1.9 µm SiO2 • Hit-and-stick collisions • Mass-size relation m s D with D  2 • Narrow (quasi-monodisperse mass spectra) • Temporal mass growth follows a power law Blum 2006 Blum et al. 1998

  10. The restructuring/compaction growth regime(s1  s2  1 mm…1 cm; v  10-2…10-1 m/s) • Collisions result in sticking • Impact energy exceeds energy to overcome rolling • Dust aggregates become non-fractal but are still highly porous Low impact energy: hit-and-stick collisions Intermediate impact energy: compaction Dominik & Tielens 1997 Blum & Wurm 2000

  12. The bouncing regime (s1  s2  1 cm…1 dm; v  0.1…1 m/s) • Collisions between equal-sized high-porosity dust aggregates do not result in sticking • Restitution energy exceeds binding energy • Bouncing causes aggregate compaction Heißelmann et al., unpublished data See also poster by Salter et al.

  14. The fragmentation regime (s1  s2  0.1 m…10 m; v  1…50 m/s) • Collisions between equal-sized dust aggregates are sufficiently energetic to overcome internal aggregate binding energy • At onset of fragmentation (v « c), power-law mass spectra have positive slope (a few large fragments) • For high-speed collisions (v » c), small fragments dominate Blum & Münch 1993 Speith et al., pers. comm.

  16. The ballistic particle-cluster aggregation regime (s1  1 µm; s2  10 µm…3 cm; v  10-3…10-1 m/s) • Single particles or small aggregates impacting a large aggregate • Experiments: analogous to BPCA is random ballistic deposition (RBD) • Hit-and-stick collisions  volume filling factor  = 0.07-0.15, very low compressibilities (C  100-1000 Pa) and tensile strength (T  100-1000 Pa) “Dust Cakes” Blum & Kozasa, unpublished data Blum et al. 2006

  18. The sticking & compaction growth regime (s1  1 µm…3 mm; s2  3 cm…30 cm; v  0.1…3 m/s) • Impacts of dust particles and dust aggregates into much larger dusty bodies are sufficiently energetic to cause material compaction in the projectile and the target • Projectiles stick to the target if the penetration depth exceeds the projectile radius Langkowski et al., unpublished data

  20. The erosion regime (s1  1 µm; s2 > 0.3 m; v  15…60 m/s) • High-velocity collisions between small dust grains and large dust aggregates can result in a mass loss of the large body • However, surface shaping due to a continuous bombardment with small dust particles may immunize the target aggregate MASS LOSS erosion at the onset of exposure to dust flux equilibrium erosion 1 mm MASS GAIN Schräpler & Blum, unpublished data

  22. The fragmentation+growth regime (s1  1 mm…1 cm; s2  30…50 cm; v  12…25 m/s) • When the target aggregate is not too weak, the projectile aggregate fragments upon impact • However, part of the impactor remains at the target Güttler & Blum, unpublished data Wurm et al. 2005
