Preliminary Results on Formation of Jetstreams by Gravitational Scattering
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Alfvén and Arrhenius (1970) have considered the development and stability of jetstreams by collisional interactions among grains; and they propose that in a jetstream environment, grains may collect and adhere to form self-gravitating embryos. Gravitational attraction of smaller particles by these embryos may then lead to a net accretion because high relative approach speeds, which could erode or break up embryos, have been minimized during the formation of the jetstream.
