Coagulation of interstellar dust in turbulent gas

Description

Considered are various physical processes resulting in coagulation of specks of dust ( mainly of metal particles) in compressing photo-planetary clouds in turbulent gas. It is shown that charge presence in coagulating solid particles (T4) does not serve an obstacle to their coagulation. Average values of T4 temperature agree with meteorite data. Average size of T4 at distances of approximately 1 a.e. constitutes approximately 1 sm. Particles of considerably higher destruction energy than silicon specks of dust took part in the initial period of T4 formation in turbulent gas. Silicon particles may be involved in the coagulation process with the decrease of intensity of turbulent movements
