In this note we present complete, closed-form expressions for random relative velocities between colliding particles of arbitrary size in nebula turbulence. These results are exact for very small particles (those with stopping times much shorter than the large eddy overturn time) and are also surprisingly accurate in complete generality (that is, also apply for particles with stopping times comparable to, or much longer than, the large eddy overturn time). We note that some previous studies may have adopted previous simple expressions, which we find to be in error regarding the size dependence in the large particle regime.

  1. Geometry of dust rings in protoplanetary disks: the case of LkCa 15

    astro-ph.EP 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The 69 au dust ring in LkCa 15 is broad and thick at 0.88 mm and progressively narrower and thinner at 1.34 and 3.08 mm, implying a massive population of small grains alongside a more concentrated large-grain population.

  2. Developing a Non-Newtonian Fluid Model for Dust, for Application to Astrophysical Flows

    astro-ph.EP 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Collisionless dust in turbulent gas is derived as a 6D anisotropic Maxwell fluid whose rheological stress tensor is dynamically important in accretion discs.
