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 ...

Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the Universe after hydrogen, helium and oxygen. Synthesized at the late evolutionary stage of stars, carbon is ejected from stars through mass loss of asymptotic giant branch stars and explosion of supernovae and then enters the interstellar medium in the form of ions, atoms, molecules and solid dust ...

Dust - Interplanetary And Interstellar
1973In the physical universe, perturbative clumpings of material include the entire spectrum of sizes from the subatomic to the metagalaxy. The span of masses from the electron to our Galaxy goes from 10-27 to 1044 gm, or 71 powers of 10. Between these two extremes, Nature displays a comprehensive array to the astronomer, as listed in Table 6-I.

On the alignment of interstellar dust
Physica, 1969Abstract Two alignment mechanisms have been investigated by means of a Monte Carlo model. In the mechanism suggested by Gold, needles or flakes which have a sufficiently high velocity with respect to the gas around them are aligned in consequence of the anisotropy of the angular momentum acquired by a grain in collision with gas atoms.

Observed Properties of Interstellar Dust
, 1979Recent information on the observed properties of interstellar dust is reviewed, with an attempt made to clarify some of the observational uncertainties associated with obtaining dust parameters.

Challenges in modelling the reaction chemistry of interstellar dust.
Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, 2014Studies aiming to understand the physicochemical properties of interstellar dust and the chemical reactions that occur on and in it have traditionally been the preserve of astronomical observation and experimental attempts to mimic astronomically ...

Interstellar dust from the Milky Way to the Magellanic Clouds
, 1992Interstellar dust in the Magellanic Clouds, with a weak or nearly absent 2175 A extinction feature, may be of interest in studies of galaxies in early stages of chemical evolution.

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 ...

This chapter discusses the interstellar grains, including the effects of extinction, polarization, and energy emission in the infrared spectrum. An overview of Mie’s theory is given, and the chapter ends with a discussion of the physical properties of the interstellar grains.
