Cosmic Dust: Laboratory Simulations

Scientific paper

The formation, properties and chemical dynamics of microparticles are important in a wide variety of technical and scientific fields including synthesis of semiconductor crystals from the vapour, heterogeneous chemistry in the stratosphere and the formation of cosmic dust surrounding stars. Gravitational effects on particle formation from vapours include gas convection and buoyancy and particle sedimentation. These processes can be significantly reduced by studying condensation and agglomeration of particles in microgravity. In addition, to accurately simulate particle formation near stars, which takes place under low-gravity conditions, studies in microgravity are desired. The aim of this paper is to give a short description of the programme STARDUST, whose goal is to study the formation and properties of high-temperature particles and gases, including silicate and carbonaceous materials, that are of interest in astrophysics and planetary science.
