Planets: Formation, Interplanetary Dust, Organic Matter
Scientific paper
Dust grains are ubiquitous in space and play various important roles in the evolution of matter in space. This article provides first a brief overview of the roles of dust in the evolution of matter in space and its composition. We focus on organic materials, which are one of the important components of the dust, and present the recent results of the experiments of thermal alteration of the organic materials and of their mechanical properties. On the basis of the experimental results, we discuss a role that the organic materials played in the formation of the planets, and propose a new scenario suggesting rapid growth of the parent bodies of asteroids.
