Unveiling Dust Aggregate Structure in Protoplanetary Disks by Millimeter-wave Scattering Polarization
Dust coagulation in a protoplanetary disk is the first step in planetesimal formation. However, the pathway from dust aggregates to planetesimals remains unclear. Both numerical simulations and laboratory experiments have suggested the importance of dust structure in planetesimal formation, but it is not well constrained by observations. We study how …
