Interstellar Dust in the Solar System

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010
A fraction of the dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) enters the heliosphere and is measured in situ from spacecraft. This review surveys the in situ measurements and discusses a hence derived model of dust in the local interstellar cloud (LIC).

Comparing meteoritic stardust with contemporary interstellar dust measured by Cassini and DESTINY+  -  constraining models of dust processing in the interstellar medium 

2022
<p>Rare presolar grains originating by condensation in circumstellar atmospheres are known from meteorites [1]. These escaped processing in the solar nebula and are identified via their extremely diverse isotopic composition [1,2]. However, it is uncertain if such grains are representative for dust from the interstellar medium (ISM) [3 ...

Measuring the processing of organic and mineral cosmic dust grains with the Interstellar Dust Experiment (IDEX) instrument

The Interstellar Dust Experiment (IDEX) is a dust impact ionization Time-of-Flight (ToF) mass spectrometer launched onboard the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) on September 24, 2025. IMAP is in nominal science operations at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point L1, with IDEX passively collecting cosmic dust grains at a cadence of roughly one ...

Ice Formation on the Surfaces of Interstellar Dust Grains: Chemical Processing of the Ice

2015
Ice mantles on the surfaces of interstellar dust grains are detected in denser, cooler gas clouds in the interstellar medium. The ices are predominantly water ice, with significant amounts of other fairly simple molecular species. The parameters controlling the onset of ice deposition are not well understood. Laboratory experiments show that mixed ices

The mid- and far-infrared range: radiation emission processes from interstellar dust and gas

2013
The thermal-infrared wavelength region contains the spectral signatures of solid-state compounds as well as a variety of lines emitted by atoms and molecules in the gaseous state. Together, these signatures provide unique diagnostic probes of the physical and chemical conditions of the cool and dusty Universe.
