Simultaneous Detection of the Size and Velocity of the Largest Ejecta Particles with Velocities Exceeding 1 km s−1

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Impact ejecta with velocities exceeding the escape velocity of planetary bodies become meteorites and dust particles in interplanetary space. We present a new method that allows simultaneous measurement of the size and velocity of the largest high ...

Cosmic dust [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Dust is a ubiquitous component of our galaxy and the solar system. The collection and analysis of extraterrestrial dust particles is important to exobiology because it provides information about the sources of biogenically significant elements and ...

Assessing the Cosmic Infrared Background Monopole from Far-infrared to Millimeter Wavelengths

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We measured the cosmic infrared background (CIB) monopole for the COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) and Planck High-Frequency Instrument (HFI) bands with an updated model for the Galactic dust emission. This model includes a dust excess

Approaching interplanetary dust physical properties from light scattering and thermal observations and simulations

open access: yes, 2005
Physical properties of the interplanetary dust such as the local polarization and temperature, together with their heliocentric variations, may be derived from scattered and emitted light observations.

Workshop on the Analysis of Interplanetary Dust Particles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Great progress has been made in the analysis of interplanetary dust particles (IDP's) over the past few years. This workshop provided a forum for the discussion of the following topics: observation and modeling of dust in the solar system, mineralogy and

Solar Energetic Particle Track Accumulation in Edgeworth–Kuiper Belt Dust Grains

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Interplanetary dust grains (IDPs) originate from a variety of sources and are dynamically transported across the solar system. While in transport, high- Z solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energies of ∼1 MeV nuc ^−1 leave damage tracks as they pass ...

Detailed Radial Scale Height Profile of Dust Grains as Probed by Dust Self-scattering in HL Tau

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The vertical settling of dust grains in a circumstellar disk, characterized by their scale height, is a pivotal process in the formation of planets. This study offers in-depth analysis and modeling of the radial scale height profile of dust grains in the

Modeling and Analysis of Main-belt Asteroidal Dust Flux and Velocity Distribution at Inner Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Interplanetary dust in the inner solar system originates from multiple sources, including short-period comets and main-belt asteroids. In this work, we focus specifically on the dynamical evolution of asteroid-derived dust using N -body simulations that ...

A Search for Meteoroid Streams and Their Sources in the Near-Sun Zodiacal Dust Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The structure and dynamics of the zodiacal cloud close to the Sun may be significantly influenced by the interaction between a background quasihomogeneous zodiacal cloud and discrete meteoroid streams associated with small bodies like comets and ...
