Dust growth in protoplanetary disks

Dust growth by aggregation is an important process as the first step of planet formation in protoplanetary disks. Dust growth also influences the temperature structure in protoplanetary disks.

Zusammenfassung:Dust growth by aggregation is an important process as the first step of planet formation in protoplanetary disks. Dust growth also influences the temperature structure in protoplanetary disks. However, we still have a large uncertainty in the dust growth process. This uncertainty mainly comes from unknown factors in dust structure. In recent years, many theoretical studies on aggregate collisions and growth have been done. In this paper, we will introduce remarkable results in these theoretical studies, mainly focusing on results by our group.
