Magnetization of Iron Meteorites up to the Meter in Size as Possible Analogs for Asteroid Psyche

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Meteorite paleomagnetic studies indicate planetesimal generated magnetic fields, but spacecraft magnetic measurements have yet to identify asteroidal natural remanent magnetization (NRM). This apparent discrepancy is of particular interest in the context of the NASA Psyche mission, which will search for evidence of past magnetic activity of ...

The direct application and potential indirect contribution of space law for solar radiation modification governance

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 170-180, April 2025.
Abstract Solar radiation modification (SRM) reflects sunlight back into space and could rapidly cool Earth, potentially reducing the harms of dangerous climate change. Current international law fails to directly and comprehensively address the transboundary, regional and global governance challenges that SRM presents.

Nano dust impacts on spacecraft and boom antenna charging

open access: yes, 2012
High rate sampling detectors measuring the potential difference between the main body and boom antennas of interplanetary spacecraft have been shown to be efficient means to measure the voltage pulses induced by nano dust impacts on the spacecraft body ...

Collisional Evolution of Irregular Satellite Swarms: Detectable Dust around Solar System and Extrasolar Planets

open access: yes, 2010
Since the 1980's it has been becoming increasingly clear that the Solar System's irregular satellites are collisionally evolved. We derive a general model for the collisional evolution of an irregular satellite swarm and apply it to the Solar System and ...

The Kuiper Belt and Other Debris Disks

open access: yes, 2008
We discuss the current knowledge of the Solar system, focusing on bodies in the outer regions, on the information they provide concerning Solar system formation, and on the possible relationships that may exist between our system and the debris disks of ...

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 ...

Nanodust in the Interstellar Medium in Comparison to the Solar System

open access: yes, 2012
Nanodust, which undergoes stochastic heating by single starlight photons in the interstellar medium, ranges from angstrom-sized large molecules containing tens to thousands of atoms (e.g.

IDE spatio-temporal impact fluxes and high time-resolution studies of multi-impact events and long-lived debris clouds [PDF]

open access: yes
The purpose of the Interplanetary Dust Experiment (IDE) on the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) was to sample the cosmic dust environment and to use the spatio-temporal aspect of the experiment to distinguish between the various components of the ...

The origin and evolution of the zodiacal dust cloud [PDF]

open access: yes
We have now analyzed a substantial fraction of the IRAS observations of the zodiacal cloud, particularly in the 25 micron waveband. We have developed a gravitational perturbation theory that incorporates the effects of Poynting-Robertson light drag ...
