The Size–Frequency Distribution of the Zodiacal Cloud: Evidence from the Solar System Dust Bands [PDF]
Icarus, 2001 Recent observations of the size-frequency distribution of zodiacal cloud particles obtained from the cratering record on the LDEF satellite (Love and Brownlee 1993) reveal a significant large particle population (100 micron diameter or greater) near 1 AU.

Iras Dust Bands and the Origin of the Zodiacal Cloud [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1989 AbstractPrevious discussions of the origin of the zodiacal cloud have attempted to distinguish between an asteroidal and a cometary source on the basis of collisional dynamics, that is, by calculating the rates of production and destruction of particles from the two possible sources.

Comet fragmentation as a source of the zodiacal cloud [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 Models of the thermal emission of the zodiacal cloud and sporadic meteoroids suggest that the dominant source of interplanetary dust is Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). However, comet sublimation is insufficient to sustain the quantity of dust presently in the inner solar system.

Collisional Evolution of the Inner Zodiacal Cloud [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Abstract The zodiacal cloud is one of the largest structures in the solar system and strongly governed by meteoroid collisions near the Sun. Collisional erosion occurs throughout the zodiacal cloud, yet it is historically difficult to directly measure and has never been observed for discrete meteoroid streams.

Electromagnetic Effects on the Zodiacal Dust Cloud [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1980 Electromagnetic effects on charged zodiacal dust particles were investigated. It can be shown that: 1) stochastic variations induced by electromagnetic forces are unimportant for the zodiacal dust cloud except for the lowest masses, 2) systematic variations in orbit inclinations are unimportant if orbital radii are larger than 10 A.U.

A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud [PDF]
, 2007 This thesis documents the building of a pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot Spectrometer, equipped with a photomultiplier and pulse-counting electronics, and its deployment at the Observatorio del Teide at Izaña in Tenerife, at an altitude of 7,700 feet (2567 m), for the purpose of recording high-resolution spectra of the Zodiacal Light.

The Symmetry Plane of the Zodiacal Cloud Near 1 AU [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1980 Analysis of zodiacal light observations from Mt. Haleakala, Hawaii show that the symmetry plane of the zodiacal cloud near 1 A.U. is close to the invariable plane of the solar system. Since the symmetry plane of the inner zodiacal cloud is close to the orbital plane of Venus (Misconi and Weinberg, 1978; Leinert et al., 1979), we suggest that the ...
