Betatron Acceleration of Suprathermal Electrons within a Small-scale Flux Rope in the Solar Wind
A growing body of evidence from observations, theories, and simulations indicates that particles can be effectively accelerated in solar wind regions filled with dynamic small-scale flux ropes (FRs).

Physical Properties of the Interplanetary Dust [PDF]
The interplanetary dust may be composed of cometary material, interstellar grains, debris from asteroidal collisions, primordial material formed by direct condensation, or contributions from all of these sources. Before we can determine the origin of the dust, we need to know its physical nature, spatial distribution, and the dynamical forces that act ...

The active processes in comets as indicators of physical conditions in the interplanetary space [PDF]
The results of researches of cometary flash activity obtained by authors are generalized. On the basis of this results the new evidences of relation between comets' light curves and level of solar activity are enunciated. A relation of cometary flash activity with heliocentric distances discovered by authors is permit the light curves of comets will be

Modelling interplanetary CMEs using magnetohydrodynamic simulations [PDF]
The dynamics of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) are discussed from the viewpoint of numerical modelling. Hydrodynamic models are shown to give a good zero-order picture of the plasma properties of ICMEs, but they cannot model the ...

Advancing Tests of Relativistic Gravity via Laser Ranging to Phobos [PDF]
Phobos Laser Ranging (PLR) is a concept for a space mission designed to advance tests of relativistic gravity in the solar system. PLR's primary objective is to measure the curvature of space around the Sun, represented by the Eddington parameter $\gamma$
