Most astrophysical systems, eg stellar winds, the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), molecular
clouds, are magnetized with magnetic fields that influence almost all of their properties. One …

Magnetic fields play a crucial role in various astrophysical processes, including star
formation, accretion of matter, transport processes (eg, transport of heat), and cosmic rays …

This chapter explores how physical properties of cometary dust (size distribution,
composition, and grain structure) can be obtained from characteristics of the electromagnetic …

We examine the dispersion of the degree of linear polarization P in comets at phase angle~
90° where the maximum amplitude of positive polarization P max occurs. The range of …

This book outlines the basic physical principles and practical methods of polarimetric remote
sensing of Solar System objects and summarizes numerous advanced applications of …

The analysis of the polarized light scattered by cometary dust particles provides information
on the physical properties of the solid component of cometary comae for C/1995 O1 Hale …

So far, only two interstellar objects have been observed within our Solar System. While the
first one, 1I/'Oumuamua, had asteroidal characteristics, the second one, 2I/Borisov, showed …

Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) has been observed over a large range of phase angles (7°–
47°) by the imaging polarimetric method from June 1996 to April 1997. Polarization maps …

We analyse the photopolarimetric response measured in Comet C/1975 V1 (West) using
model agglomerated debris particles. Such particles have highly irregular morphology and …

The cosmic dust particles found in space are mainly porous aggregates of smaller grains.
Theoretically, these aggregates are replicated using fractal geometry, assuming a cluster of …
