Scientific paper

We report on the experimental determination of beta values, i.e. ratios of radiation pressure force to gravity, of graphite aggregates of several microns in size. The method used yields simultaneously values for the parallel and the transverse component of the radiation pressure force. For a graphite aggregate of size 6 times 17 microns, we find a variation of beta with values from 4.3 to 14.9 and a transverse component of the radiation pressure force that is about 55% of the component in the forward direction. The broad distribution of values measured for a single particle is due to the variation of the orientation of the highly irregularly shaped particle during the series of measurements. The unexpectedly high values can be explained by the characteristic structure of graphite aggregates.
