Journal ArticleDOI
Collisional balance of the meteoritic complex
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the effects of mutual collisions (i.e., destruction of meteoroids and production of fragment particles) and of radiation pressure has been performed which yielded a new picture of the balance of the meteoritic complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composition of comet Halley dust particles from Giotto observations

TL;DR: The mass spectra of cometary dust particles measured by the PIA dust particle analyzer aboard the Giotto spacecraft showed some unexpected and striking features as mentioned in this paper, such as small particles below 10 to the -14th g are much more abundant than anticipated by models.

TL;DR: The Cassini-Huygens Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is intended to provide direct observations of dust grains with masses between 10-19 and 10-9 kg in interplanetary space and in the jovian and satumian systems, to investigate their physical, chemical and dynamical properties as functions of the distances to the Sun, to Jupiter and to Saturn and its satellites and rings as mentioned in this paper.
Book ChapterDOI
The Galileo dust detector
Eberhard Grün,Hugo Fechtig,Martha S. Hanner,Jochen Kissel,Bertil-Anders Lindblad,D. Linkert,D. Maas,Gregor E. Morfill,H. A. Zook +8 more
TL;DR: The Galileo Dust Detector as mentioned in this paper is a multicoincidence detector with a mass sensitivity 106 times higher than that of previous in-situ experiments which measured dust in the outer solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar Wind Magnetic Field Bending of Jovian Dust Trajectories

TL;DR: From September 1991 to October 1992, the cosmic dust detector on the Ulysses spacecraft recorded 11 short bursts, or streams, of dust that emanated from the jovian system, and their trajectories were strongly affected by solar wind magnetic field forces.
