Interaction of the solar wind and stream particles, results from the Cassini dust detector

Postberg, Frank; Grün, Eberhard; Kempf, Sascha +5 more

The stream particles are nanometer-size dust particles ejected from the jovian and the saturnian systems with velocities greater than 100 kms^-1. Due to their small size, stream particles are more sensitive to the electromagnetic force than to gravity. It has been shown by the simulations that the stream-particle dynamics in interplaneta…
