A Search for Meteoroid Streams and Their Sources in the Near-Sun Zodiacal Dust Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The structure and dynamics of the zodiacal cloud close to the Sun may be significantly influenced by the interaction between a background quasihomogeneous zodiacal cloud and discrete meteoroid streams associated with small bodies like comets and ...

The Dust Ejection Induced by a Meteoroid Impact as a Possible Initiator of Dust Devils on Mars: Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation

open access: yesSolar System Research, 2004
The results are presented of a preliminary study that aims to validate the hypothesis about the possibility of the formation of a giant dust devil resulting from the interaction of the wind with the dust clouds initiated by the impacts of meter ...

Formation, Structure, and Detectability of the Geminids Meteoroid Stream

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The Geminids meteoroid stream produces one of the most intense meteor showers at Earth. It is an unusual stream in that its parent body is understood to be an asteroid, (3200) Phaethon, unlike most streams, which are formed via ongoing cometary activity.

Investigation of Dust Grains by Optical Tweezers for Space Applications

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Cosmic dust plays a dominant role in the universe, especially in the formation of stars and planetary systems. Furthermore, the surface of cosmic dust grains is the benchwork where molecular hydrogen and simple organic compounds are formed. We manipulate

The orbital distribution of radar-detected meteoroids of the Solar system dust cloud [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004
The radar meteoroid orbit data set obtained from the AMOR facility in Christchurch, New Zealand (longitude 172 ◦ 39 E, latitude 43 ◦ 34 S) between 1995 May and 1999 October contains ∼5 × 10 5 high-quality meteor records. The system was very sensitive compared with previous surveys, with a limiting radio magnitude of +14 corresponding to a 3 × 10 ...

Mercury's Circumsolar Dust Ring as an Imprint of a Recent Impact

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
A circumsolar dust ring has been recently discovered close to the orbit of Mercury. There are currently no hypotheses for the origin of this ring in the literature, so we explore four different origin scenarios here: the dust originated from (1) the ...

In Situ Observations of Interplanetary Dust Variability in the Inner Heliosphere

open access: yes, 2020
International audienceThis work examines the variation of interplanetary dust count rates and directionality during the first three solar encounters made by the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft, covering distances between 0.65 au (∼140 solar radii, RS) and ...

Exchange of impact-generated dust between the Galilean moons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The dust environment of Jupiter consists of various dynamically different parts: tenuous dust rings around the planet, dust streams emanating from the volcanic plumes of Io, impact-generated dust clouds around the Galilean moons, and dilute populations ...
