Wave instruments can detect dust in space via the charges released by impact ionization of
fast dust grains. Each hypervelocity dust impact produces an electrostatic pulse whose short …

Dust impacts on spacecraft are commonly detected by antenna instruments as transient
voltage perturbations. The signal waveform is generated by the interaction between the …

We examine meteoroid orbits recorded by the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) from
2012 to 2019, consisting of just over 11 million orbits in a search for potential interstellar …

The term 'α-meteoroid'was introduced to describe a group of micrometeoroids with certain
dynamical properties, which–alongside the group of the β-meteoroids–had been identified …

Abstract The Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument can detect dust
particles when voltage pulses induced by the dust impacts are observed in the wideband …

We present an analysis of 1‐year data of dust impacts observed on two of the Earth‐orbiting
Magnetospheric Multiscale mission (MMS) spacecraft. The dust impact signals were …

The effective ion and electron temperatures of dust impact generated plasma clouds are
measured experimentally as a function of impact speed in the range of 4–20 km/s. The …

The paper presents laboratory investigations of the response of a scaled down model of the
Cassini spacecraft to impacts of submicron iron grains accelerated to velocities 5–25 km/s …

The charge released by impact ionization of fast dust grains impinging on spacecraft is at the
basis of a well‐known technique for dust detection by wave instruments. Since most of the …

Electric field instruments carried by spacecraft (SC) are complementary to dedicated dust
detectors by registering transient voltage perturbations caused by impact‐generated …
