Determining the Shape, Size, and Sources of the Zodiacal Dust Cloud using Polarized Ultraviolet Scattered Sunlight

Geoffrey Bryden, Neal J. Turner, Petr Pokorny +7

The solar system's Zodiacal Cloud is visible to the unaided eye, yet the origin of its constituent dust particles is not well understood, with a wide range of proposed divisions be…

Probing Interstellar Dust With Space-Based Coronagraphs

N. J. Turner, K. Grogan, J. B. Breckinridge

We show that space-based telescopes such as the proposed Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph will be able to detect the light scattered by the interstellar grains along lines of…

New Debris Disks Around Nearby Main Sequence Stars: Impact on The Direct Detection of Planets

C. Beichman, G. Bryden, K. Stapelfeldt

Using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer telescope, we have searched for infrared excesses around a sample of 82 stars, mostly F, G, and K main-sequence field stars, along with a s…

Images of Vega Dust Ring at 350 and 450 microns: New Clues to the Trapping of Multiple-Sized Dust Particles in Planetary Resonances

K. A. Marsh, C. D. Dowell, T. Velusamy +2

We have used the SHARC II camera at Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to make 350 and 450 micron images of the Vega dust disk at spatial resolutions (FWHM) of 9.7" and 11.1", respe…

Image of Fomalhaut Dust Ring at 350 Microns: Relative Column Density Map Shows Pericenter-Apocenter Asymmetry

K. A. Marsh, T. Velusamy, C. D. Dowell +2

We have imaged the circumstellar disk of Fomalhaut at 350 microns wavelength, using SHARC II at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The spatial resolution of the raw images (9 a…

The Size-Frequency Distribution of the Zodiacal Cloud: Evidence from the Solar System Dust Bands

K. Grogan, S. F. Dermott, D. D. Durda

Recent observations of the size-frequency distribution of zodiacal cloud particles obtained from the cratering record on the LDEF satellite (Love and Brownlee 1993) reveal a signif…
