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 ...

Interplanetary dust

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 ...

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.

4.3.5 Interplanetary dust

2009
Dust is finely dispersed solid material in interplanetary space. It derives from a number of sources: larger meteoroids, comets, asteroids, the planets, their satellites, and rings, and there is interstellar dust sweeping through the Solar System. These dust particles are also often called micrometeoroids, and range in size from assemblages of a few ...

Bismuth in interplanetary dust

Nature, 1984
Samples of a large (∼60 µm) chondritic porous (CP) aggregate collected from the stratosphere have been analysed in detail by analytical electron microscopy (AEM). Previous studies of CP aggregates have shown that they are extraterrestrial in origin1–3 and may be related to cometary debris4.

Interplanetary Dust

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 Particles

2020
Scattered sunlight from interplanetary dust particles, mostly produced by comets and asteroids, orbiting the Sun are visible at dusk or dawn as the Zodiacal Cloud. Impacts onto the space-exposed surfaces of Earth-orbiting satellites indicate that, in the current era, thousands of tons of interplanetary dust enters the Earth’s atmosphere every year ...
