Interstellar Dust in the Solar System
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1998We deduce the mass distribution and total mass density of interstellar dust streaming into the solar system and compare the results to the conditions of the very local interstellar medium (VLISM). The mass distribution derived from in situ measurements shows a gentler slope and includes larger grains, compared to a model distribution proposed for the ...

The Interstellar Dust Properties of Nearby Galaxies [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 This article gives an overview of the constitution, physical conditions, and observables of dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial distribution of dust in these objects and its consequences for our ability to study grain physics.

Interstellar Dust and Extinction
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1987The ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum has been crucial in providing information on the nature of the material and size distribution of the particles of interstellar dust. Before there were any measurements of the UV properties of interstellar extinction, interstellar particles were believed to be composed primarily of dirty ices.

Interstellar Dust Grains [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2003 ▪ Abstract This review surveys the observed properties of interstellar dust grains: the wavelength-dependent extinction of starlight, including absorption features, from UV to infrared; optical luminescence; infrared emission; microwave emission; optical, UV, and X-ray scattering by dust; and polarization of starlight and of infrared emission.

Nature, 1971
THE failure, thus far, to detect gaseous emission lines from circumstellar dust clouds1–3 and from Bok globules2 raises the possibility that such clouds consist solely of dust grains. The possibility has previously been largely discounted on the grounds that relative diffusion of the grains and gas is slow and inefficient requiring time scales which ...

Physics of Interplanetary and Interstellar Dust
Space Science Reviews, 1996Observations 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

Interstellar dust in the solar system
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 2004Dust is an important component of galactic stucture and the cyclic processing of particulate matter leads to stellar and planetary formation. Though astronomical methods using analysis of dust-penetrating starlight can provide some limited information about the dust, the prospect of its in-situ sampling within the Solar System by spacecraft and its ...

From Interstellar Dust to Comets to Comet Dust: A Test of the Interstellar Dust Model of Comets
1991The interstellar dust model of comets is used as a basis to simultaneously satisfy various observational constraints and to derive the porosity of comet dust. The observational constraints are: (1) the strengths of the 3.4 µm and 9.7 µm emission bands; (2) the shape of the 9.7 µm band; (3) the relative amount of silicates to organic materials; (4) the ...
