Modeling the Sporadic Meteoroid Background Cloud
Dikarev, V.; Grün, E.; Landgraf, M. +3 more
The orbital distributions of dust particles in interplanetary space are revised in the ESA meteoroid model to incorporate more observational data and to comply with the constraints due to the long-term particle dynamics under the planetary gravity and Poynting–Robertson effect. Infrared observations of the zodiacal cloud by the COBE Earth-bound ob…
Meteoroid Streams Associated to Comets 9P/Tempel 1 and 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Jorda, L.; Lamy, P.; Vaubaillon, J.
The meteoroid streams associated to short-period comets 9P/Tempel 1 (the target of the Deep Impact mission). and 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (the target of the Rosetta mission) are studied. Their structure is overwhelmingly under the control of Jupiter and repeated relatively close encounters cause a reversal of the direction of the spati…
