Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background using the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager on New Horizons

open access: yes, 2017
The cosmic optical background is an important observable that constrains energy production in stars and more exotic physical processes in the universe, and provides a crucial cosmological benchmark against which to judge theories of structure formation ...

Cosmic dust [PDF]

open access: yes
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 ...

SIMS chemical analysis of extended impact features from the trailing edge portion of experiment AO187-2 [PDF]

open access: yes
One hundred capture cells from the trailing edge, which had lost their cover foils during flight, were optically scanned for extended impact features caused by high velocity projectiles impinging on the cells while the foils were still intact.

Electrostatic Modeling of Dust Impact Signals Based on the Expanding Plasma Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Signals generated by dust impacting spacecraft can be detected by electric field instruments. These signals have been simulated by numerous models. However, few models can accurately characterize the expansion of the plasma cloud generated by dust impact.
