Stardust@home: A Massively Distributed Public Search for Interstellar Dust in the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector [PDF]

, 2005
In January 2006, the Stardust mission will return the first samples from a solid solar system body beyond the Moon. Stardust was in the news in January 2004, when it encountered comet Wild2 and captured a sample of cometary dust.

Properties of Interstellar Dust [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
AbstractIn this review, the picture of the interstellar dust is outlined from the viewpoint of its role in galactic evolution. The modern concept of distinct dust populations is presented. The properties of the dust grains in the diffuse interstellar medium and in the molecular clouds are described.

A detailed study of the reflection nebula, NGC 7023 [PDF]

, 1982
Polarisation and intensity maps in three broad wavebands are presented for the reflection nebula NGC7023. The data are used to investigate the structure, dust distribution and grain characteristics of the material surrounding the central illuminating ...

Observational constraints on interstellar dust models [PDF]

, 1989
No single model has been able to account for all of the observed spectroscopic properties of interstellar or circumstellar dust. The reason for this is that, despite the agreement that the grains are composed of silicaceous/metal oxide and carbonaceous ...

The Flattest Infrared Extinction Curve in Four Isolated Dense Molecular Cloud Cores

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The extinction curve of interstellar dust in the dense molecular cloud cores is crucial for understanding dust properties, particularly size distribution and composition.

Interstellar and cometary dust [PDF]

, 1989
Aspects of interstellar dust which are known from direct observation will be discussed. Some specific difficulties that various theories have in explaining the observations will be presented.

Observation of Diffuse Galactic Light Near the Galactic Center with ONC-T on Board Hayabusa2

The Astrophysical Journal
Diffuse Galactic light (DGL) is starlight scattered by interstellar dust. In visible wavelengths, earlier studies observed DGL toward regions of low optical depth in high Galactic latitude, and show marginal consistency with a theoretical model assuming ...

Supernova Remnants as a Probe of Dust Grains in the Interstellar Medium

, 2010
Interstellar dust grains play a crucial role in the evolution of the galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Despite its importance, however, dust remains poorly understood in terms of its origin, composition, and abundance throughout the universe. Supernova

Interstellar Meteoroids [PDF]

, 2019
The conclusive detection of interstellar meteoroids would be of great significance, providing unique information about the interstellar medium and even about the debris disks of other stars.
