Migration of interplanetary dust.
We numerically investigate the migration of dust particles with initial orbits close to those of the numbered asteroids, observed trans-Neptunian objects, and comet Encke. The fraction of silicate asteroidal particles that collided with the Earth during their lifetime varied from 11% for 100 micron particles to 0.008% for 1 micron particles. Almost all asteroidal particles with diameter d >/= 4...
متن کاملInterplanetary Dust Community
Imagine a box filled with particles from hundreds of thousands of small bodies throughout the solar system, including asteroids, comets, Trojans, Centaurs, KBOs and even from other stars. Each particle contains information about the object from which it came and the space environment through which it has traveled. Largely collected near the Earth’s orbit and on the Earth itself, this box of par...
متن کاملIon Bombardment of Interplanetary Dust
The recent discovery of ion tracks in interplanetary dust and the increasing evidence for carbon and carburized materials in these objects are strongly suggestive that chemical processing by energetic charged-particle bombardment has occurred during the dust lifetimes. The track density gives a measure of the total ion fluence experienced by the grains. We use this information and laboratory da...
متن کاملA Preliminary Assessment of the Organic Content of Interplanetary Dust
Introduction: Interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) collected from the Earth’s stratosphere by NASA have been shown to contain significant quantities of organic matter [1]. Anders [2] suggested that organic matter contributed by IDPs to the surface of the Earth may have been important for the origin of life. As part of our ongoing effort to characterize the organic carbon in IDPs, we have now co...
متن کاملObservations of interplanetary dust by the Juno magnetometer investigation
One of the Juno magnetometer investigation’s star cameras was configured to search for unidentified objects during Juno’s transit en route to Jupiter. This camera detects and registers luminous objects to magnitude 8. Objects persisting in more than five consecutive images and moving with an apparent angular rate of between 2 and 18,000 arcsec/s were recorded. Among the objects detected were a ...
