在原行星盘中观测到的小尘埃产生机制

A Mechanism to Produce the Small Dust Observed in Protoplanetary Disks

Thorben Kelling, Gerhard Wurm

摘要:

在原行星盘的整个生命周期中,都存在着微小的(亚)微米尘埃。由于聚集很容易耗尽小颗粒,一种解释可能是,尘埃是由中平面中的较大物体连续产生的,并被输送到圆盘的表面。一般来说,在这种情况下的第一步,较大的机构必须再次销毁,存在不同的机制,有可能完成这一任务。可能的破坏机制是碰撞中的碎裂、气体拖曳造成的侵蚀或光引起的侵蚀。在实验室实验中,我们发现,后者,光致侵蚀努森压缩和电泳,可以提供小颗粒。它可能是一个优选的候选人,因为灰尘被释放到一个低颗粒密度区域。该机制的工作原理防止或降低了大的致密聚集体的瞬时再增生或再生长的可能性。如果存在颗粒升力,例如湍流,则这些颗粒可能容易到达盘的表面。

英文摘要:

Small (sub)-micron dust is present over the entire lifetime of protoplanetary disks. As aggregation readily depletes small particles, one explanation might be that dust is continuously generated by larger bodies in the midplane and transported to the surface of the disks. In general, in a first step of this scenario, the larger bodies have to be destroyed again and different mechanisms exist with the potential to accomplish this. Possible destructive mechanisms are fragmentation in collisions, erosion by gas drag or light induced erosion. In laboratory experiments we find that the latter, light induced erosion by Knudsen compression and photophoresis, can provide small particles. It might be a preferred candidate as the dust is released into a low particle density region. The working principle of this mechanism prevents or decreases the likelihood for instant re-accretion or re-growth of large dense aggregates. Provided that there is a particle lift, e.g. turbulence, these particles might readily reach the surface of the disk.
