Dust measurements in the coma of comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Dust Flux Monitor Instrument.

TL;DR: Measurements from the Stardust Dust Flux Monitor Instrument (DFMI) throughout the flyby of comet 81P/Wild 2 show regions of intense swarms of particles, together with bursts of activity corresponding to clouds of particles only a few hundred meters across.
Journal ArticleDOI

The E-ring in the vicinity of Enceladus: II. Probing the moon's interior—The composition of E-ring particles

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical analysis of the impact ionisation mass spectra of Enceladus' E-ring particles is presented, which supports the hypothesis of a dynamic interaction of the moon's rocky core with liquid water.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Situ Dust Measurements From within the Coma of 1P/Halley: First-Order Approximation with a Dust Dynamical Model

TL;DR: In this article, the similarities and correlation between the Optical Probe Experiment (OPE) and Dust Impact Detection System (DID) data sets were compared with a cometary coma dynamical model, and it was shown that the general shape of both the OPE and DID data can largely be explained by Keplerian dynamics alone, without recourse to fragmentation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meteoroid impacts on spacecraft: sporadics, streams, and the 1999 Leonids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the impact effects such as penetration damage and plasma generation on satellites in Low Earth and Geostationary orbits and characterised the spacecraft impact damage for the normal sporadic background and the annual meteoroid showers, and especially considered the quantitative effects which would occur should the 1999 apparition of the Leonids reach storm conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating the factors affecting DSS usage by senior managers in local authorities in Egypt

TL;DR: Both perceived ease of use (PEU) and perceived usefulness (PU) had a significant direct effect on DSS usage and demonstrated that TAM could be applied to a specific system within a developing country.
