Group excursion to the dust accelerator facility at University of Stuttgart
Together with ETH's Nanoparticle Systems Engineering group, the Astrodust group visited the dust accelerator in Stuttgart, successfully testing their very own dust analogues.
New publication about impact ionization with compact and fluffy dust particles
We published a new paper about high-velocity impact ionization experiments that have been conducted at the former Heidelberg dust accelerator facility. The work is important for a fundamental understanding of the dust impact ionization process, and therefore also for investigating the interstellar dust particle size distribution and for other types of porous dust.
"NanoSpace" accepted as a COST Action for the upcoming 4 years
Astrodust takes part in a European COST Action on carbon molecular nanostructures in space.
Group excursion to the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch
The Astrodust yearly excursion was this year to the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch.
