Grain Alignment and Rotational Disruption by Radiative Torques in Exoplanet Atmospheres

open access: yesThe 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,

Characterization of the Ejecta from the NASA/DART Impact on Dimorphos: Observations and Monte Carlo Models

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a large dust cloud was released, and a long-lasting dust tail developed. We

Modeling the Motion and Distribution of Interstellar Dust inside the Heliosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The interaction of dust grains originating from the local interstellar cloud with the environment inside the heliosphere is investigated. As a consequence of this interaction the spatial distribution of interstellar dust grains changes with time.

SEARCH OF THE Na IN THE REGION OF THE SUBLIMATION OF THE NEAR-SUN DUST

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
An evaluation of the Na number in the sublimation zone of the near-Sun interplanetary dust, based on a comparison with the intensity of the radiation of the Na in the Earth atmosphere, has been obtained.

Techniques for Galactic Dust Measurements in the Heliosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Galactic interstellar dust (ISD) is the major ingredient in planetary formation. However, information on this important material has been extremely limited.

Unique, non‐Earthlike, meteoritic ion behavior in upper atmosphere of Mars

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...

Aspects of the Mass Distribution of Interstellar Dust Grains in the Solar System from In-Situ Measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The in-situ detection of interstellar dust grains in the Solar System by the dust instruments on-board the Ulysses and Galileo spacecraft as well as the recent measurements of hyperbolic radar meteors give information on the properties of the ...

Meteorites and cosmic dust: Interstellar heritage and nebular processes in the early solar system

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Small solar system bodies like asteroids and comets have escaped planetary accretion. They are the oldest and best preserved witnesses of the formation of the solar system.
