Interplanetary Dust

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics Library, 2001
This is a handbook on the physics of interplanetary dust, a topic of interest not only to astronomers and space scientists but also to engineers. The following topics are covered in the book: historical perspectives; cometary dust; near-Earth environment; meteoroids and meteors; properties of interplanetary dust, information from collected samples; in ...

Interplanetary dust

open access: yes, 2015
This chapter reviews how the polarization of light scattered by interplanetary dust has been used to determine some physical properties of the dust population in the interplanetary medium. Though optically thin, the interplanetary dust cloud is visible due to the faint glow (the zodiacal light) it produces at visible wavelengths through the scattering ...

Physical Properties of Cometary and Interplanetary Dust

open access: yesPlanetary and Space Science, 2007
In the absence of numerous in situ studies, physical properties of cosmic dust may be derived from observations of their light scattering and thermal properties, through numerical simulations making use of realistic assumptions.

Interplanetary dust

Naturwissenschaften, 1979
Small sizes of individual particles and exceedingly low spatial density are formidable problems which greatly impeded progress in the dust field during the previous decade. The major experimental problems which prevented reliable measurements appear finally to have been solved and the entire dust field has seen dramatic progress over the past four ...

Physics of Interplanetary and Interstellar Dust

Space Science Reviews, 1996
Observations of dust in the solar system and in the diffuse interstellar medium are summarized. New measurements of interstellar dust in the heliosphere extend our knowledge about micron-sized and bigger particles in the local interstellar medium. Interplanetary grains extend from submicron- to meter-sized meteoroids. The main destructive effect in the

Refractory Minerals in Interplanetary Dust

Science, 1986
A newly studied interplanetary dust particle contains a unique set of minerals that closely resembles assemblages in the refractory, calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The set of minerals includes diopside, magnesium- aluminum spinel, anorthite, perovskite, and fassaite.
