Scientific paper

We report here new information from our studies on the porosity of interplanetary dust particles. We have resolved some of the problems we encountered earlier and we report new results for four hydrated IDPs and two meteorites. Determination of the porosity of IDPs is important in the dynamics of collisional and orbital evolution of small-sized particles. We are using an image analysis method to make these determinations from digitized photographs of thin-sectioned particles. Earlier determinations of porosity were derived from measures of density and suggested that particles had appreciable porosity, but that porosities were probably less than 70%.
