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.

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 ...

The 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

Interaction of interplanetary dust particles with magnetic clouds [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 Context. The interaction of the solar wind with interplanetary dust in the inner solar system appears to result in the formation of inner-source pickup ions. The flux of these ions is roughly two orders of magnitude larger than expected based on established dust particle profiles. This discrepancy can be resolved, if a population of very small (~0.02

Mercury's Circumsolar Dust Ring as an Imprint of a Recent Impact
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 A circumsolar dust ring has been recently discovered close to the orbit of Mercury. There are currently no hypotheses for the origin of this ring in the literature, so we explore four different origin scenarios here: the dust originated from (1) the ...

Near-infrared Polarization Charateristics of the Zodiacal Light Observed with DIRBE/COBE
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report near-infrared polarization of the zodiacal light (ZL) measured from space by the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on board the Cosmic Background Explorer in photometric bands centered at 1.25, 2.2, and 3.5 μ m.

Poynting-Robertson Effect and Collisions in the Interplanetary Dust Cloud [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1980 A simulation model has been developed to study the results of the Poynting-Robertson (PR) effect and collisions on the dynamical evolution of an interplanetary dust cloud. Fragmentational and accretional effects are neglected. With a mean free collision time of the order of the PR lifetime collisional effects become of importance.
