Motion of Cometary Dust
On timescales of days to months, the motion of cometary dust is mainly affected by solar radiation pressure, which determines dust dynamics according to the particle-scattering crosssection. Within this scenario, the motion of the dust creates structures referred to as dust tails. Tail photometry, depending on the dust cross-section, allows us to infer from model runs the best available outputs...
متن کاملInterference in laboratory tests
Interference in clinical laboratory testing can create discrepancies in test results which can lead to patient harm. In clinical chemistry, interference is defined as a cause of medically significant difference in the measurand test result due to another component or property of the sample. Interference by endogenous and exogenous substances with assays for clinical analytes is a common prob...
متن کاملOrganic matter in comets and cometary dust.
Comets are primitive conglomerates of the solar system containing a mixture of frozen gases, refractory grains, and carbonaceous particles rich in biogenic elements. The dramatic display of comets is mostly caused by a cloud of micrometer-sized dust particles that leave the comet nucleus when frozen gases sublimate as they approach the Sun. Analyses of cometary dust captured in the stratosphere...
متن کاملCharacteristics of cometary dust tracks in Stardust aerogel and laboratory calibrations
The cometary tray of the NASA Stardust spacecraft’s aerogel collector has been examined to study the dust that was captured during the 2004 fly by of comet 81P/Wild-2. An optical scan of the entire collector surface revealed 256 impact features in the aerogel (width > 100 μm). 20 aerogel blocks (out of a total of 132) were removed from the collector tray for a higher resolution optical scan and...
متن کاملScattering Properties and Composition of Cometary Dust
Composition of the Comet dust obtained by the dust impact analyzer on the Halley probes indicated that the comet dust is a mixture of silicate and carbonaceous material. The collected interplanetary dust particles (IDP’s) are fluffy and composite, having grains of several different types stuck together. Using Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) we study the scattering properties of composite gr...
