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 کاملThe Composition of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections
Interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) associated plasma can exhibit signatures in elemental, ionic and isotopic composition. These signatures occur in less than 50% of all ICMEs, but are very indicative of ICME plasma. We review these compositional anomalies and briefly discuss a physical scenario that could be responsible for these anoma-
متن کاملOxygen isotopic composition of chondritic interplanetary dust particles: A genetic link between carbonaceous chondrites and comets
Oxygen isotopes were measured in four chondritic hydrated interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) and five chondritic anhydrous IDPs including two GEMS-rich particles (Glass embedded with metal and sulfides) by a combination of high precision and high lateral resolution ion microprobe techniques. All IDPs have isotopic compositions tightly clustered around that of solar system planetary materials....
