  1. The formation of stars and planets Day 4, Topic 3: Agglomeration of particles Lecture by: C.P. Dullemond

  2. Dust coagulation Main planet formation scenario • Dust particles in disk stick and form aggregates • Aggregates continue to grow until gravity becomes important (planetesimals) • Planetesimals agglomerate via gravitational interactions and form rocky planet • Two ways from here: • Stays a rocky planet (like Earth) • Accretes gas and becomes Jupiter-like planet

  3. From dust to planets Observable with DARWIN TPF etc. Observable in visual, infrared and (sub-)mm ? 1m 1km 1000km 1mm 1m

  4. Grain coagulation • What happens upon collision? • They stick (creating a bigger aggregate) • They stick and compactify • They bounce • They mutually destroy each other • How many collisions? / What is evolution of dust? • Brownian motion • Turbulence • Big grains settle to the midplane and sweep up small grains • Big grains move on Kepler orbits, small grains are mixed with gas (slightly sub-Keplerian) • Radial migration of grains at different speeds

  6. Growth is aggregation of “monomers” Compact • Produced by particle-cluster aggregation, if anything • Lowest possible /m, i.e. fastest settling velocity •  /m ∝m-1/3

  7. Growth is aggregation of “monomers” Compact Porous • Produced by particle-cluster aggregation • Higher  /m than compact ones, i.e. slightly slower settling •  /m ∝m-1/3

  8. Compact Porous Fractal Growth is aggregation of “monomers” • Produced by cluster-cluster aggregation (hierarchical growth) • Very high  /m, i.e. very slow settling •  /m ∝m with-1/3<<0

  16. Coagulation equation Size distribution function (discrete version): = Number/cm3 of aggregates with i monomers Hit and stick between aggregates: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 mass

  17. = Cross-section for collision between i and k = Average relative velocity between i and k = Total number of size-bins modeled Coagulation equation The coagulation equation (discrete form) becomes: Problem with this approach: Need 1030 bins... Impossible!!

  18. The coagulation equation becomes: Coagulation equation Introduce continuous distribution function: Number of particles per cm3 with mass between m and dm Now make discrete bins, with bin width m ~ m. This way each logarithmic mass interval is equally well spaced!

  42. Time scale problem • Growth at 1AU up to cm size or larger proceeds within 1000 years • Virtually all the small grains get swept up before 10.000 years • Seems to contradict observations of T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be star disks

  43. Effect of pure growth on SED of disk

  44. What could save the small grains? • Porous / fractal grains settle slower • Grain charging reduces sticking probability • Accretion replenishes small grains • Highly reduced turbulence in dead zone

  45. Porous grains: one-particle model Porosity does not prolong time scale!!

  46. Porous grains: one-particle model Porosity only makes end-products larger/heavier

  47. Fragmentation of grains • Dust aggregates are loosely bound (van der Waals force between monomers) • Collision speed decisive for fate of aggregate: • Slow velocity collision: sticking • Intermediate velocity collision: compactification • High velocity (>1m/s) collision: desintegration (Blum et al.; Dominik et al.) • Extremely simple model treatment: if(v>1m/s) then destroy (put mass back into monomers)
