Interplanetary dust particles and meteoroids mostly originate from comets and asteroids.
Understanding their distribution in the Solar system, their dynamical behavior and their …

This review addresses the state of research that employs astronomical (remote sensing)
observations of solids (“dust”) in young circumstellar disks to learn about planet formation …

Context. The size of the constituent particles (monomers) of dust aggregates is one of the
most uncertain parameters directly affecting collisional growth of aggregates in planet …

The T-matrix method is one of the most powerful and widely used theoretical techniques for
the computation of electromagnetic scattering by single and composite particles, discrete …

Context. Dust grains coagulate to form dust aggregates in protoplanetary disks. Their
porosity can be extremely high in the disks. Although disk emission may come from fluffy …

In protoplanetary disks, micron-sized dust grains coagulate to form highly porous dust
aggregates. Because the optical properties of these aggregates are not completely …

We describe and analyze simultaneous sublimation activity of the main-belt primitive
asteroids during their perihelion passages, which was detected by spectral methods. This …

Context. Optical characterization of dust particles in cometary comae is based on a
comparison between observations and simulations of solar radiation scattered by cometary …

Cosmic dust particles are small solid objects observed in the solar planetary system and in
many astronomical objects like the surrounding of stars, the interstellar and even the …

The paper presents a new approach to determining the change in the brightness of a comet
during an outburst. It was investigated how the porosity of the dust particle translates into an …
