More than 30 000 volunteers involved in identification of tiny rare interstellar dust particle candidates collected by the Stardust mission

open access: yesHeidelberger Jahrbücher Online, 2017
The NASA Stardust mission returned the first tiny samples of interstellar dust from beyond the borders of our solar system. This region is almost devoid of matter and the interstellar dust particles floating through our solar system are extremely rare ...

Interstellar Dust Close to the Sun [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The low density interstellar medium (ISM) close to the Sun and inside of the heliosphere provides a unique laboratory for studying interstellar dust grains.

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Consequences of the Solar System passage through dense interstellar clouds [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2003
Several consequences of the passage of the solar system through dense interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. These clouds, dense (more than 100 cm-3), cold (10–50 K) and extended (larger than 1 pc), are characterized by a gas-to-dust mass ...

Interrelationships between interstellar and interplanetary grains [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The relationship between solar system dust (SSD) and interstellar dust particles (ISMD) is being reconsidered because of the discovery of isotopic anomalies in meteorites.

Modelling dust processing and the evolution of grain sizes in the ISM using the method of moments

open access: yes, 2016
Interstellar dust grains do not have a single well-defined origin. Stars are demonstrably dust producers, but also efficient destroyers of cosmic dust. Dust destruction in the ISM is believed to be the result of SN shocks hitting the ambient ISM gas (and

Infrared Emission from Interstellar Dust. II. The Diffuse Interstellar Medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present a quantitative model for the infrared emission from dust in the diffuse interstellar medium. The model consists of a mixture of amorphous silicate grains and carbonaceous grains, each with a wide size distribution ranging from molecules ...

Using numerical models of bow shocks to investigate the circumstellar medium of massive stars

open access: yes, 2014
Many massive stars travel through the interstellar medium at supersonic speeds. As a result they form bow shocks at the interface between the stellar wind.

The global dust modelling framework THEMIS (The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Here we introduce the interstellar dust modelling framework THEMIS (The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids), which takes a global view of dust and its evolution in response to the local conditions in interstellar media.
