5.2 Dynamics of Interplanetary Dust and Related Topics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The problem of the effects of mutual collisions for the dynamics of interplanetary dust particles and grains is reviewed. Collisions are shown to give a rather characteristic dynamical signature, the importance of these effects depending mainly on the mean free collision time and the degree of inelasticity. Although a few attempts to look for collisional effects in the solar system have been made, rather much work remains to be done before the problem is fully understood.
