Cosmic dust fertilization of glacial prebiotic chemistry on early Earth
Earth’s surface is deficient in available forms of many elements considered limiting for prebiotic chemistry. In contrast, many extraterrestrial...

Dust Particles in Space: Opportunities for Experimental Research
AbstractSpace dust and dusty (complex) plasma are one of the most common manifestations of matter in space. Non-atmospheric bodies of the Solar...

Dynamical properties of nonlinear dust ion-acoustic waves on the basis of the Schamel–KdV equation
In this present study, our objective is to investigate the formation of dust ion-acoustic solitary and periodic waves in a superthermal magnetised...

Dust and powder in fusion plasmas: recent developments in theory, modeling, and experiments
In this paper, we present a brief historic overview of the research on dust in fusion devices with carbon plasma-facing components and then highlight...

Constraints on the Number of Primordial Black Holes Due to Interaction with Dust
AbstractPhotons emitted by primordial black holes (PBHs) due to the Hawking effect are among the factors of interstellar dust heating. Based on the...

Low gas-phase metallicities of ultraluminous infrared galaxies are a result of dust obscuration
Optical spectroscopic measurements show that gas in dusty, starbursting galaxies known as ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) in the local...

The Kuiper Belt As An Evolved Circumstellar Disk
In the past decade, more than 400 objects have been discovered in orbit about the sun beyond Neptune. They constitute a vast ring of bodies the...

Time Evolution of a Cometary Spear of the Sun
AbstractSome asteroids, comets, and planets (ACPs) are accelerated by giant planets and ejected from parent planetary systems with velocities of...

Mercury Dust Monitor (MDM) Onboard the Mio Orbiter of the BepiColombo Mission
An in-situ cosmic-dust instrument called the Mercury Dust Monitor (MDM) had been developed as a part of the science payload for the Mio (Mercury...

Chemical evidence for planetary ingestion in a quarter of Sun-like stars
Stellar members of binary systems are formed from the same material, and therefore they should be chemically identical. However, recent studies have...

Spectral Signs of Simultaneous Sublimation Activity and the Appearance of a Dust Exosphere on Eight Asteroids of the Main Belt Near Perihelion
Abstract—In December 2020, at the 2-m telescope of the Terskol branch of the Institute of Astronomy, we carried out spectrophotometric observations...

Optical reconstruction of dust in the region of supernova remnant RX J1713.7−3946 from astrometric data
The origin of the radiation observed in the region of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7−3946, one of the brightest TeV emitters, has been debated...

The Role of Radial Transport in Forming Minor Bodies of the Outer Solar System
AbstractIn this paper, we summarize the experimental data on the features of the mineral, chemical, and isotopic compositions of minor bodies of the...

Circumplanetary Dust Populations
We summarize the current state of observations of circumplanetary dust populations, including both dilute and dense rings and tori around the giant...

Non-gravitational Mechanism of Comets’ Ejection from the Oort Cloud Due to Cometary Outbursts
AbstractCometary nuclei located in the Oort cloud accumulate high concentration of radicals in surface layers under cosmic ray irradiation at low...
