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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The heliospheric plasma sheet
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution magnetic field and plasma data gathered by ISEE 3/ICE during several sector boundary crossings are used to investigate the narrow heliospheric current sheet (approximately equal 3 x 10 (exp 3) km to 10(exp 4) km) together with the heliosphere plasma sheet in which it is embedded.

TL;DR: The Jovian flyby of the Ulysses spacecraft presented the opportunity to confirm and complement the findings of the four previous missions that investigated the structure and dynamics of theJovian magnetosphere and magnetic field, as well as to explore for the first time the high-latitude dusk side of the magnetosphere
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux and composition of interstellar dust at Saturn from Cassini's Cosmic Dust Analyzer.

TL;DR: The results show that, remarkably, these grains lack carbon-bearing compounds and have been homogenized in the interstellar medium into silicates with iron inclusions, which suggest the presence of magnesium-rich grains of silicate and oxide composition, partly with Iron inclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-velocity streams of dust originating from Saturn

TL;DR: All bursts of dust impacts detected within 150 Saturn radii are characterized by impact directions markedly different from those measured between the bursts, and they clearly coincide with the spacecraft's traversals through streams of compressed solar wind.
