• The effect of a water-ice mantle on dust trajectories in the Kuiper belt 

      Gjelsvik, Amalie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-07-12)
      The New Horizons spacecraft has travelled through the Solar System and has reached a distance of 55 AU as of 2023. For one of the first times, the dust flux in the outer Solar System has been measured, using the instrument Student Dust Counter (SDC) onboard New Horizons. Between 30 and 50 AU is the Kuiper belt, which is a disk consisting of icy objects. These objects can undergo collisions, causing ...

      This article present results from automatic detection of dust impact signals observed by the Solar Orbiter – Radio and Plasma Waves instrument.<p> <p>A sharp and characteristic electric field signal is observed by the Radio and Plasma Waves instrument when a dust particle impact the spacecraft at high velocity. In this way, ∼5–20 dust impacts are daily detected as the Solar Orbiter travels through ...
