COSMIC DUSTY PLASMA
- D. Mendis, M. Rosenberg
- Physics
- 1994
Different types of photometric observations in the 1930s (Trumpler 1930; Stebbins et al 1 934; 1939) clearly showed that the dark "holes" in the Milky Way, observed by William Herschel almost 150… Expand
Role of grain size and particle velocity distribution in secondary electron emission in space plasmas
- V. W. Chow, D. Mendis, M. Rosenberg
- Physics
- 1 November 1993
By virtue of being generally immersed in a plasma environment, cosmic dust is necessarily electrically charged. The fact that secondary emission plays an important role in determining the equilibrium… Expand
The electrostatics of a dusty plasma
- E. Whipple, T. Northrop, D. Mendis
- Physics
- 1 August 1985
We derive the potential distribution in a plasma containing dust grains where the Debye length can be larger or smaller than the average intergrain spacing. We treat three models for the grain-plasma… Expand
The comet Halley dust and gas environment
- N. Divine, H. Fechtig, +8 authors D. Yeomans
- Physics
- 1 February 1986
Quantitative descriptions of environments near the nucleus of comet P/Halley have been developed to support spacecraft and mission design for the flyby encounters in March, 1986. To summarize these… Expand
Dusty plasma effects in Saturn's magnetosphere
- M. Horányi, T. Hartquist, O. Havnes, D. Mendis, G. Morfill
- Physics
- 1 December 2004
[1] Comets, planetary rings, exposed dusty surfaces, and the zodiacal dust cloud are all examples of environments where dusty plasma effects establish the size and spatial distributions of small… Expand
Satellites and magnetospheres of the outer planets
The known properties of the satellites of the outer planets are reviewed and an attempt is made to provide explanations for some of the more striking features in terms of interaction with the… Expand
Gyrophase drifts and the orbital evolution of dust at Jupiter's gossamer ring
- T. Northrop, D. Mendis, L. Schaffer
- Physics
- 1 May 1989
Abstract Jupiter's “gossamer” ring, which apparently consists largely of fine dust grains, and extends outward from the main ring to the vicinity of Thebe at ∼3.11 RJ, has a significant peak at the… Expand
The gravito‐electrodynamics of charged dust in planetary magnetospheres
- D. Mendis, H. Houpis, J. R. Hill
- Physics
- 1 May 1982
The dynamics of small electrically charged dust grains within the rigidly corotating regions of planetary magnetospheres such as those of Jupiter and Saturn is considered. Depending on whether one is… Expand
The physics of comets
- D. Mendis, H. Houpis, M. Marconi
- Physics
- 1985
This volume of the 'Fundamentals of Cosmic Physics' is concerned with the physics of comets. Aspects regarding the nucleus are discussed, taking into account observations, radius and albedo, mass,… Expand

The dynamics and thermodynamics of a dusty cometary atmosphere.
- M. Marconi, D. Mendis
- Physics
- 1 December 1984
A self-consistent model of a dirty, clathrate cometary nucleus is extended to account for diffuse radiation fields caused by multiple scattering and thermal reradiation of the solar continuum by… Expand
