Interstellar dust particles were discovered in situ, in the solar system, with the Ulysses
mission's dust detector in 1992. Ever since, more interstellar dust particles have been …

In this volume a thorough review is given of waves in dusty plasmas, a fascinating new
domain combining plasmas and charged dust, two omnipresent ingredients of the Universe …

A fraction of the dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) enters the heliosphere and is
measured in situ from spacecraft. This review surveys the in situ measurements and …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

Recent images of the disks of dust around the young stars HR 4796A and Fomalhaut show,
in each case, a double-lobed feature that may be asymmetric (one lobe may be brighter than …

The gas-to-dust mass ratios found for interstellar dust within the solar system, versus values
determined astronomically for the cloud around the solar system, suggest that large and …

The reverse shock in the ejecta of core-collapse supernovae is potentially able to destroy
newly formed dust material. In order to determine dust survival rates, we have performed a …

Abstract Analysis of several numerical plasma sheath models, as well as data from several
previously reported experiments, is shown to indicate that the sheath potential function may …

Effect of electromagnetic radiation scattering on homogeneous spherical dust particle which
carries excess surface electric charge is investigated. Numerical calculations are presented …

Several searches have found evidence of ${}^{60}{\rm {Fe}} $ deposition, presumably from a
near-Earth supernova (SN), with concentrations that vary in different locations on Earth. This …
