A New Dust Model for the Saturnian System: First results Open
The Saturnian system with its extended ring system is a prime target for cosmic dust research. Dusty rings are fed by a variety of processes and form a complex dust environment: in the case of the E ring, ice volcanism on Enceladus acts as…

A light dust shield, including aerogel, for DISC instrument on board ESA's Comet Interceptor mission: numerical simulations and Ballistic Limit Equation Open
The Dust Impact Sensor and Counter (DISC), part of the payload of Comet Interceptor mission, will determine the coma dust features of the mission target comet. DISC sensing plate will be exposed to cometary dust hypervelocity impacts (HVI)…

A model of the heliocentric dust ring on Venus orbit Open
A heliocentric dust ring on Venus orbit was discovered following observations by the Helios spacecraft, and then confirmed thanks to observations by STEREO and the Parker Solar Probe. The impact risk it poses needs to be evaluated for any …

Analysis of dust shield and detection system response to hypervelocity impacts for Comet Interceptor Dust Impact Sensor and Counter Open
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The dust ejected by cometary nuclei encodes valuable information on the formation and evolution of the early Solar System. Several short-period comets have already been studied in situ[1]…

Light scattering model for small space debris particles Open
We have developed a scattering model allowing to study interaction of light with particles populating the near-Earth environment: satellite explosion remnants, collisional debris, particles detached from peeling paint surfaces, and ejecta …

IMEM2: a meteoroid environment model for the inner solar system Open
Context. The interplanetary dust complex is currently understood to be largely the result of dust production from Jupiter-family comets, with contributions also from longer-period comets (Halley- and Oort-type) and collisionally produced a…
