Physics of interplanetary and interstellar dust

Space Science Reviews, 1996
Observations of dust in the solar system and in the diffuse interstellar medium are summarized. New measurements of interstellar dust in the heliosphere extend our knowledge about micron-sized and bigger particles in the local interstellar medium. Interplanetary grains extend from submicron- to meter-sized meteoroids. The main destructive effect in the

Overview of Cosmic Rays, Solar and Interplanetary Physics Research (1987 – 1990)

Reviews of Geophysics, 1991
A brief survey of recent U.S. investigations in the field of heliospheric plasmas and their manifestations is presented, introducing the following collection of detailed reviews (accessions A91-46959 to A91-46964). Topics examined include the large-scale structure of interplanetary plasmas, models of Galactic cosmic-ray production and propagation ...

Physical Properties of Interplanetary Grains

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1976
This paper presents physical properties of interplanetary dust determined by in-situ techniques. It is probable that, like millimeter-sized meteoroids (Jacchia, et al. 1967), most interplanetary dust is cometary matter. Although a cometary origin for interplanetary dust is widely accepted (Whipple 1967) (Millman, 1972) there is currently no unambiguous

Physical consistency in modeling interplanetary magnetohydrodynamic fluctuations

Physical Review Letters, 1990
The validity of the Velli, Grappin and Mangeney (1989) model is evaluated. It is argued that the model is incorrect because it mixes different dynamical models, assumes weak nonlinearities, makes predictions that vary with observations, and violates causality.

Physical properties of cometary and interplanetary dust

Planetary and Space Science, 2007
Abstract In the absence of numerous in situ studies, physical properties of cosmic dust may be derived from observations of their light scattering and thermal properties, through numerical simulations making use of realistic assumptions. Estimations about cometary and interplanetary dust composition, structure, size, as well as about their light ...

Physical Processes on Interplanetary Dust

2001
This chapter discusses physical processes affecting interplanetary dust grains, including processes determining dust formation, growth, disruption, and alteration. Computer simulations and laboratory studies of coagulation and aggregation show that mutual collisions between solid grains determine the growth of solid aggregates in the early solar system

On the size distribution and physical properties of interplanetary dust grains

Icarus, 1980
Abstract This paper synthesizes information on the size distribution and physical properties of interplanetary dust grains obtained from analyses of lunar microcraters performed until 1979. The different aspects of these analyses (counting methods, simulation, calibrations) are summarized and a large amount of data is collected and discussed in order
