Modeling Chondrule Dust Rim Growth with Ellipsoidal Monomers

Fine-grained dust rims (FGRs) surrounding chondrules in carbonaceous chondrites encode important information about early processes in the solar nebula. Here, we investigate the effect of the nebular environment on FGR porosity, dust size distribution, and grain alignment, comparing the results for r...
