Interplanetary dust detected by the Cassini CDA Chemical Analyser
2007, IcarusCitation Excerpt :To try and form a cohesive, holistic picture of the nature and behaviour of dust particles within the Solar System, a number of models have been developed, two of the most successful being by Divine (1993) and Staubach et al. (1997), which model the interplanetary dust complex over a wide range of heliocentric distance. Particle composition and density are assumed when interpreting optical and infrared observations, lunar micro-cratering records (e.g., Le Sergeant D'Hendecourt and Lamy, 1980) and in foil penetration experiments (e.g., Tanner et al., 1996), and the particle composition and density strongly affect the β value (the ratio of the force due to radiation pressure to the force due to gravity on the particle) assumed for a particle. This value is an important parameter in dynamical models such as those previously mentioned.
