Linear Thermal Instability of a Condensing Gas–Particle Mixture, with Possible Application to Chondrites and Planetesimals

Linear Thermal Instability of a Condensing Gas–Particle Mixture, with Possible Application to Chondrites and Planetesimals

We study the stability of a hot saturated gas coexisting with condensed particles in an optically thin medium. Such a situation may be obtained downstream of a shock, at condensation fronts, or in vaporizing impacts. We show that the gas–particle mixture is subject to a thermal instability whereby a...
