Scientific paper

Recent knowledge about interplanetary dust particles suggests that the main contribution of the zodiacal light is produced by particles between 10 and 100 μm in size. To investigate the scattering characteristics of single particles in this size range systematically, a light scattering instrument was built using electrostatic levitation of single particles. The measured particles consist of terrestrial as well as meteoritic material. Laboratory results demonstrate that the scattering properties of irregularly shaped dark opaque particles with very rough surface and of fluffy dark opaque particles resemble the characteristic features of the empirical scattering function as derived from measurements of the zodiacal light.
