Grain Alignment and Rotational Disruption by Radiative Torques in Exoplanet Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dust clouds are ubiquitous in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters and affect their observable properties. The alignment of dust grains in the clouds and resulting dust polarization provide a promising way to study the magnetic fields of exoplanets. Moreover,

Unique, non‐Earthlike, meteoritic ion behavior in upper atmosphere of Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Interplanetary dust particles have long been expected to produce permanent ionospheric metal ion layers at Mars, as on Earth, but the two environments are so different that uncertainty existed as to whether terrestrial‐established understanding would ...

Gravitationally bound geoengineering dust shade at the inner Lagrange point [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents a novel method of space-based geoengineering which uses the mass of a captured near Earth asteroid to gravitationally anchor a cloud of unprocessed dust in the vicinity of the L1 position to reduce the level of solar insolation at ...
