In the experiments reported here, we used a low pressure shear wind tunnel for the first time under real zero gravity. That is, we carried out the experiments in the drop tower in Bremen at 10-5g . In concert with earlier work, we confirm the applicability of a single semi-empirical equation to describe the threshold shear stress for wind erosion. It can be applied to calculations of unstable orbits of planetesimals and the dissolution of planetesimals passing through evolving planetary atmospheres. 4950 https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1877$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:465-20250129-112510-4$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00082347 5051 530 5550 planet–disc interactions 5550 planets and satellites: dynamical evolution and stability 5550 planets and satellites: formation 5550 planets and satellites: physical evolution 5550 protoplanetary discs
