Absolute magnitude of small cosmic dust particles

, 2020
Agglomerated debris particles are realistic model cosmic dust particles that reproduce their highly irregular and fluffy morphology. We compute the absolute magnitude of these model particles in the broad-band filters B, V, R, and I from the widely ...

Cosmic Dust in the Atmosphere

Nature, 1959
In an attempt to detect fine dust from the Perseid meteor shower, magnetic particles were collected during August 1957 and 1958 by observers in Great Britain and Greenland. Many of these particles were collected directly from the air by greased slides attached to aircraft and by placing bowls of filtered water in isolated places. However, a vast number

Cosmic Dust VI

Planetary and Space Science, 2014
Abstract This special issue is primarily devoted to the 6th meeting on Cosmic Dust ( Cosmic Dust VI ), which was held at CPS (Center for Planetary Science) in Kobe, Japan, on August 5–9, 2013. This meeting was coordinated in an order where a friendly and welcoming atmosphere persuaded the participants of the meeting to develop human relations and ...

The Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyzer

Space Science Reviews, 2004
The Cassini-Huygens Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is intended to provide direct observations of dust grains with masses between 10-19 and 10-9 kg in interplanetary space and in the jovian and satumian systems, to investigate their physical, chemical and dynamical properties as functions of the distances to the Sun, to Jupiter and to Saturn and its ...

Composition of Cosmic Dust: Sources and Implications for the Early Solar System

, 2016
Many cosmic dust particles have escaped the aqueous and thermal processing, the gravitational compaction, and the impact shocks that often overprint the record, in most larger samples, of how Solar System materials formed.

Meteors and cosmic dust

Endeavour, 1997
Abstract There is something rather poignant about seeing a shooting star. In the quiet of the night, under the clear dark sky, one is witnessing the death of a cosmic dust particle, a particle that had its own independent orbit around the Sun, and whose only fault was having an orbit that intersected the Earth's, and being at the intersection point ...

Cosmic Dust: Building Blocks of Planets Falling from the Sky

, 2016
Throughout its history, Earth has accreted microscopic dust falling from space. Decelerating from cosmic speeds at the top of the atmosphere, the smallest particles can take weeks to reach the ground, failing a rate of 1 m −2 day −1 .

Cosmic Dust: Finding a Needle in a Haystack

, 2016
Collecting cosmic dust is a tricky business! Despite Earth's surface being showered by thousands of tons of comic dust every year, such dust is quickly lost in a sea of terrestrial particles.

Cosmic Silicate Dust

EAS Publications Series, 2009
Silicates form a major component of cosmic dust. This paper summarizes the main structural and spectroscopic properties of amorphous and crystalline silicates. Furthermore, it reviews our knowledge of cosmic silicates in the Galaxy. Recent in-situ studies of presolar silicates extracted from primitive meteorites and anhydrous interplanetary dust ...
