Selective Aggregation Experiments on Planetesimal Formation and Mercury-Like Planets

Much of a planet’s composition could be determined right at the onset of formation. Laboratory experiments can constrain these early steps. This includes static tensile strength measurements or collisions carried out under Earth’s gravity and on various microgravity platforms. Am...
