Collisional Growth and Fragmentation of Dust Aggregates with Low Mass Ratios. I. Critical Collision Velocity for Water Ice
We investigated fundamental processes of collisional sticking and fragmentation of dust aggregates by carrying out N-body simulations of submicron-sized icy dust monomers. We examined the condition for collisional growth of two colliding dust aggregates in a wide range of the mass ratio, 1-64. We found that the mass transfer from …
