SP-345 Evolution of the Solar
System
FIGURE 18.10.1.- Diagram of the
formation of a croup of bodies. Infalling gas is stopped and ionized
at different distances from the central body The two regions in the
figure may receive plasma simultaneously or during different epochs.
Condensation of the plasma is rapid during the total infall period.
Condensed grains are collected in jet streams which increase their
mass during the whole infall period. Grains are stored in the jet
streams as single particles and embryos (often for a lone period of
time) until they are finally accreted by the largest embryo. In each
region of plasma infall, 3-5 bodies are formed.
