Can Fluffy Dust Alleviate the Subsolar Interstellar Abundance Problem?
What might be the most appropriate set of interstellar reference abundances of chemical elements (both in gas and in dust) relative to hydrogen has been a subject of much discussion during the past decade. While historically the Sun has been taken as the reference standard, it has recently been suggested that the interstellar abundances might be better represented by those of B stars (because o...
متن کاملCan Composite Fluffy Dust Particles Solve the Interstellar Carbon Crisis?
Recent observations suggest that the abundance of carbon in the interstellar medium is only ∼ 60% of its solar value, and that other heavy elements may be depleted by a similar amount. Furthermore, more than half of the interstellar carbon is observed to be in the gas in the form of C, leaving less than ∼ 40% of the solar carbon abundance available for the dust phase. These observations have cr...
متن کاملHold on to Your Volatiles - Early Preservation in Evolving Icy Planetesimals
Introduction. The outer Solar System hosts a vast population of small icy bodies, considered to be primitive remnants from the planet formation epoch [1]. Early thermal and collisional processes affected such planetesimals to varying degrees depending on the time scale and dynamics of early planet growth. Hence, key information about early planet formation processes in proto-planetary disks are...
متن کاملGlobal evolution of solid matter in turbulent protoplanetary disks II. Development of icy planetesimals
It is currently thought that planets around solar-type stars form by the accumulation of solid matter entrained in a gaseous protoplanetary disk.Wemodel part of this process starting from small particles suspended in a gaseous disk, and ending up with most of the solid material aggregated into 1–10–km– sized planetesimals. The radial distribution of solid material circumnavigating a star in the...
متن کاملThe dust halo of Saturn's largest icy moon, Rhea.
Saturn's moon Rhea had been considered massive enough to retain a thin, externally generated atmosphere capable of locally affecting Saturn's magnetosphere. The Cassini spacecraft's in situ observations reveal that energetic electrons are depleted in the moon's vicinity. The absence of a substantial exosphere implies that Rhea's magnetospheric interaction region, rather than being exclusively i...
