  • Understanding Inner Solar System Dust Environment Through In-Situ Measurements 

    Kočiščák, Samuel (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-10-04)
    It is apparent from remote observations that the density of interplanetary dust is the highest in the near-solar region. Yet, there were little in-situ data available from measurements from within 1 AU before Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO) missions. They both venture close to the Sun on elliptical orbits, and they are equipped with electrical antennas capable of dust detection, ...
