Stardust Interstellar Preliminary Examination IX: High-speed interstellar dust analog capture in Stardust flight-spare aerogel

Frank Postberg, +79 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of laboratory hypervelocity impact experiments, during which cosmic dust analog particles (diameters of between 0.2 and 0.4 mu m), composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, or an organic polymer, were accelerated onto Stardust flight-spare low-density (approximately 0.01 g cm(-3)) silica aerogel.

Identification of Crystalline Material in Two Interstellar Dust Candidates from the Stardust Mission

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed two of these via nanodiffraction at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and found them to contain crystalline components and identified the most likely mineral components as olivine and spinel.
