Clementine Observations of the Zodiacal Light and the Dust Content of the Inner Solar System [PDF]

, 2002
Using the Moon to occult the Sun, the Clementine spacecraft used its navigation cameras to map the inner zodiacal light at optical wavelengths over elongations of 3-30 degrees from the Sun.

Dust in the Local Interstellar Wind [PDF]

, 1999
The gas-to-dust mass ratios found for interstellar dust within the Solar System, versus values determined astronomically for the cloud around the Solar System, suggest that large and small interstellar grains have separate histories, and that large ...

A dust cloud of Ganymede maintained by hypervelocity impacts of interplanetary micrometeoroids [PDF]

Planetary and Space Science, 2000
A dust cloud of Ganymede has been detected by in-situ measurements with the dust detector onboard the Galileo spacecraft. The dust grains have been sensed at altitudes below five Ganymede radii (Ganymede radius = $\rm 2,635 km$). Our analysis identifies the particles in the dust cloud surrounding Ganymede by their impact direction, impact velocity, and

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

, 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.

The Isotropic Interplanetary Dust Cloud and Near-infrared Extragalactic Background Light Observed with COBE/DIRBE [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2020
Abstract We report observation of isotropic interplanetary dust (IPD) by analyzing the infrared (IR) maps of the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on board the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) spacecraft. To search for the isotropic IPD, we perform new analysis in terms of the solar elongation angle (ϵ), because we expect ...

Origins and Spatial Distribution of Non-Pure Sulfate Particles (NSPs) in the Stratosphere Detected by the Balloon-Borne Light Optical Aerosols Counter (LOAC)

Atmosphere, 2020
While water and sulfuric acid droplets are the main component of stratospheric aerosols, measurements performed for about 30 years have shown that non-sulfate particles (NSPs) are also present.

The galactic environment of the Sun [PDF]

, 1999
The interstellar cloud surrounding the solar system regulates the galactic environment of the Sun and constrains the physical characteristics of the interplanetary medium.

Cluster and MMS Simultaneous Observations of Magnetosheath High Speed Jets and Their Impact on the Magnetopause

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
When the supersonic solar wind encounters the Earth's magnetosphere a shock, called bow shock, is formed and the plasma is decelerated and thermalized in the magnetosheath downstream from the shock. Sometimes, however, due to discontinuities in the solar

Dust Measurements in the Outer Solar System [PDF]

, 1999
Dust measurements in the outer solar system are reviewed. Only the plasma wave instrument on board Voyagers 1 and 2 recorded impacts in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB).

The Size-Frequency Distribution of the Zodiacal Cloud: Evidence from the Solar System Dust Bands [PDF]

, 2000
Recent observations of the size-frequency distribution of zodiacal cloud particles obtained from the cratering record on the LDEF satellite (Love and Brownlee 1993) reveal a significant large particle population (100 micron diameter or greater) near 1 AU.
