Collisional Growth and Fragmentation of Dust Aggregates. II. Mass Distribution of Icy Fragments

Abstract By performing N -body simulations, we investigated the fundamental processes of collisions between dust aggregates composed of submicron-sized icy dust monomers. We examined the mass distribution of fragments in the collisional outcomes in a wide range of the mass ratio and the collision velocity between colliding dust aggregates. We …
