The unresolved mystery of dust particle swarms within the magnetosphere
Max Sommer
Early-generation in-situ dust detectors in near-Earth space have reported the occurrence of clusters of sub-micron dust particles that seemed unrelated to human spaceflight activit…
Synergies between interstellar dust and heliospheric science with an Interstellar Probe
Veerle J. Sterken, Silvan Hunziker, Kostas Dialynas +40
We discuss the synergies between heliospheric and dust science, the open science questions, the technological endeavors and programmatic aspects that are important to maintain or d…
Alpha-Meteoroids then and now: Unearthing an overlooked micrometeoroid population
Maximilian Sommer
The term `-meteoroid' was introduced to describe a group of micrometeoroids with certain dynamical properties, which -- alongside the group of the -meteoroids -- had been ide…
Modelling cometary meteoroid stream traverses of the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft en route to Phobos
Harald Krüger, Masanori Kobayashi, Peter Strub +5
The Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) spacecraft is a JAXA mission to Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos. MMX will carry the Circum-Martian Dust Monitor (CMDM) which is a newly dev…
Helios spacecraft data revisited: Detection of cometary meteoroid trails by in-situ dust impacts
Harald Krüger, Peter Strub, Max Sommer +5
Cometary meteoroid trails exist in the vicinity of comets, forming fine structure of the interplanetary dust cloud. The trails consist predominantly of cometary particles with size…
Effects of neighbouring planets on the formation of resonant dust rings in the inner Solar System
Maximilian Sommer, Hajime Yano, Ralf Srama
Context. Findings by the Helios and STEREO mission have indicated the presence of a resonant circumsolar ring of dust associated with Venus. Attempts to model this phenomenon as an…
