Interstellar dust within the life cycle of the interstellar medium
Cosmic dust is omnipresent in the Universe. Its presence influences the evolution of the astronomical objects which in turn modify its physical and chemical properties.

A Multi‐Purpose Heliophysics L4 Mission
The Earth‐Sun Lagrangian point 4 is a meta‐stable location at 1 AU from the Sun, 60° ahead of Earth's orbit. It has an uninterrupted view of the solar photosphere centered on W60, the Earth's nominal magnetic field connection to the Sun.

Considering light-matter interactions in Friedmann equations based on the conformal FLRW metric
Introduction: Recent observations indicate that the Universe is not transparent but partially opaque due to absorption of light by ambient cosmic dust. This implies that the current cosmological model valid for the transparent universe must be modified ...

Dust versus Cosmic Acceleration [PDF]
Two groups have recently discovered a statistically significant deviation in the fluxes of high-redshift type Ia supernovae from the predictions of a Friedmann model with zero cosmological constant. In this Letter, I argue that bright, dusty, starburst galaxies would preferentially eject a dust component with a shallower opacity curve (hence less ...

Gas and Dust Temperature in Prestellar Cores Revisited: New Limits on Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate [PDF]
We develop a self-consistent model for the equilibrium gas temperature and size-dependent dust temperature in cold, dense, prestellar cores, assuming an arbitrary power-law size distribution of dust grains.

Missing Giants: Predictions on Dust-obscured Galaxy Stellar Mass Assembly Throughout Cosmic Time
Due to their extremely dust-obscured nature, much uncertainty still exists surrounding the stellar mass growth and content in dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z > 1. In this work, we present a numerical model built using empirical data on DSFGs to

In Situ Cosmic Dust Detection for Heliophysics
We discuss a suite of instruments cable of carrying out the next generation of in situ cosmic dust measurements from the heliosphere into interstellar space to provide compositional and dynamical information of interstellar dust and interplanetary dust particle populations in support of the Interstellar Probe mission concept.

Impacts of Cosmic Dust on Planetary Atmospheres and Surfaces
Recent advances in interplanetary dust modelling provide much improved estimates of the fluxes of cosmic dust particles into planetary (and lunar) atmospheres throughout the solar system.

A Laboratory Study of Plasma Charging Inside Lava Tubes on the Lunar Surface
The electrostatic charging environment inside lunar lava tubes was investigated in laboratory experiments using a glass tube exposed to a simulated solar wind flow.

The frequent dust storms and charged dust particles on Mars pose significant challenges to the power generation efficiency and service life of solar panels during exploration missions. This paper proposes a novel wind‐driven ternary four‐phase soft‐soft contact triboelectric nanogenerator (FPS‐TENG) for dust removal.
