New publication: re-analysis of the Ulysses interstellar dust data and filtering in the outer regions of the heliosphere
A new paper was published with a re-analysis of the Ulysses mission’s interstellar dust data. It tells us whether the biggest (micrometer sized) interstellar dust in the dataset are really interstellar, it shows the method to infer the modulation of interstellar dust in the heliosphere’s boundary region, and investigates the selection biases for interstellar versus interplanetary dust in the dataset.
Welcome to Tim Arnet in the Astrophysical Dust Group
Tim Arnet (former Master student of the Astrodust group) has started his work as a research assistant, focusing mainly on charging of cosmic dust in different regions of the heliosphere and on dust trajectory simulations throughout the heliosphere. Tim has graduated from the Astrodust group in 2024, where he already participated very successfully in a project concerning the dust environment for the Lunar Gateway.
