Consequences of the Solar System passage through dense interstellar clouds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2003 Several consequences of the passage of the solar system through dense interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. These clouds, dense (more than 100 cm-3), cold (10–50 K) and extended (larger than 1 pc), are characterized by a gas-to-dust mass ...

Formation, Structure, and Detectability of the Geminids Meteoroid Stream
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The Geminids meteoroid stream produces one of the most intense meteor showers at Earth. It is an unusual stream in that its parent body is understood to be an asteroid, (3200) Phaethon, unlike most streams, which are formed via ongoing cometary activity.

Investigating Coronal Holes and CMEs as Sources of Brightness Depletion Detected in PSP/WISPR Images
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission provides a unique opportunity to observe the solar corona from distances below 20 R _☉ . In this work, we utilize white light images from the Wide-field Imager for Solar PRobe aboard the PSP from solar encounters 10 ...

Heliocentric distance dependence of zodiacal light observed by Hayabusa2#
Earth, Planets and Space, 2023 Zodiacal light (ZL) is sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) at optical wavelengths. The spatial distribution of IDPs in the Solar System may hold an important key to understanding the evolution of the Solar System and material ...

Investigation of Dust Grains by Optical Tweezers for Space Applications
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Cosmic dust plays a dominant role in the universe, especially in the formation of stars and planetary systems. Furthermore, the surface of cosmic dust grains is the benchwork where molecular hydrogen and simple organic compounds are formed. We manipulate

Interplanetary Dust as a Foreground for the LiteBIRD CMB Satellite Mission
The Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2021 As ever-more sensitive experiments are made in the quest for primordial CMB B Modes, the number of potentially significant astrophysical contaminants becomes larger as well. Thermal emission from interplanetary dust, for example, has been detected by the
