Evidence of an Extended Alfvén Wing System at Enceladus: Cassini's Multi‐Instrument Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We report in situ evidence for Enceladus' Alfvén wing system and its coupling with Saturn's ionosphere, based on multi‐instrument observations from the Cassini spacecraft. Analysis of 36 events, including 13 from non‐flyby paths, confirms the existence of a Main Alfvén Wing (MAW) current system generated at Enceladus, and associated Reflected ...

Dust Grain Orbital Behavior Around Ceres

, 2003
Many asteroids show indications they have undergone impacts with meteoroid particles having radii between 0.01 m and 1 m. During such impacts, small dust grains will be ejected at the impact site.

High‐Latitude Electrodynamics and Thermospheric Density Variations During the 2024 Gannon Storm

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This study investigates high‐latitude electrodynamics and thermospheric density variations during the 2024 Gannon's storm. First, the auroral precipitation module of Auroral Spectra and High‐Latitude Electric field variabilitY, ASHLEY‐A, is improved to more accurately capture the location of auroral precipitation observed during this ...

Sublimation of Interplanetary Dust [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
AbstractThree topics are briefly reviewed to examine evidence for the nature of dust grains and grain alteration by physical processes related to mainly sublimation. Namely, (1) a change of dust flux detected byin situdust measurements beyond ~ 2 AU from the Sun suggests a disappearance of volatile ices due to sublimation below this distance, (2) an ...

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 241-271, February 2026.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Detection of Biological Bricks in Space. The Case of Adenine in Silica Aerogel

Life, 2019
Space missions using probes to return dust samples are becoming more frequent. Dust collectors made of silica aerogel blocks are used to trap and bring back extraterrestrial particles for analysis.

Dusty Planetary Systems

, 2012
Extensive photometric stellar surveys show that many main sequence stars show emission at infrared and longer wavelengths that is in excess of the stellar photosphere; this emission is thought to arise from circumstellar dust.

Cosmic dust [PDF]

Dust is a ubiquitous component of our galaxy and the solar system. The collection and analysis of extraterrestrial dust particles is important to exobiology because it provides information about the sources of biogenically significant elements and ...
