The Optical Properties of Interplanetary Dust
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
After briefly evaluating the observations of the Zodiacal Light and F-corona, we review the laboratory results on the light scattering by dust particles and the various theories which have been recently proposed. We then discuss the optical properties of the dust with emphasis on the phase function, the polarization, the color, the albedo and the local enhancement in the Gegenschein.
