Compound chondrule formation via collision of supercooled droplets

Earth and Planetary Astrophysics 2016-05-06 v1

Abstract

We present a novel model showing that compound chondrules are formed by collisions of supercooled droplets. This model reproduces two prominent observed features of compound chondrules: the nonporphyritic texture and the size ratio between two components.
