Dust - plasma interactions:

Observations in the interplanetary medium and

in the environment of solar system objects


Scientific Aims - Team Members - Meetings - Reports


Scientific Aims

Many processes in astrophysics base on dust-plasma interactions and most of the dust-plasma interactions are at present not directly measured. We attempt a survey of dusty plasma effects and dust plasma interactions in the interplanetary medium, in the environment of solar system objects and in the Earth atmosphere. From this we will shape a set of future research questions for experimental, observational and theoretical studies of dust-plasma phenomena.
