Observasjoner av Vega og Fomalhaut tyder på at de har støvbelter rundt seg. Avstanden fra stjerna er rundt 0,2 astronomiske enheter (AE) og størrelsen til støvpartiklene varierer fra noen nanometer til noen mikrometer. Slikt støv fins også i solsystemet. Denne oppgaven handler om å beregne banen til slike støvpartikler etter danning. Det antas at støvet påvirkes av tre krefter: gravitasjon, ...

<p><i>Context - </i>Vega and Fomalhaut display a thermal emission brightness that can possibly arise from hot dust near the stars, an inner extension of their planetary debris disks. There was brought up an idea that nm-sized dust particles are kept in the vicinity of the stars by electromagnetic forces. This resembles the trapping that model calculations show in the corotating magnetic field in the ...

The dust environment in the inner Solar system has not been probed so far, but ESA’s Solar Orbiter (2020) and NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (2018) are about cross the inner solar system. From [1] we expect a layer of trapper Nanodust around the Sun. [2] investigated the interaction of grains with the Solar wind. But what is the dust’s fate when they are struck by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Are they ...

Volumetric measurements of the ionosphere are important for investigating spatial variations of ionospheric features, like auroral arcs and energy deposition in the ionosphere. In addition, such measurements make it possible to distinguish between variations in space and time. While spatial variations in scalar quantities such as electron density or temperature have been investigated with incoherent ...
