Do we detect interplanetary dust with Faraday cups?
Original language description
Transient clouds of a plasma generated by hypervelocity dust particles impacting onto the spacecraft were observed in-situ by many experiments over the last 20 years. The reported observations analyze sensitive measurements of plasma waves that are transmitted to the Earth with a sufficient time resolution. The detection is based on a fact that hypervelocity impacts generate plumes of the ionized gas expanding into a space. The present paper analyzes five years of the operation of the Bright Monitor of the Solar Wind (BMSW) onboard the Spektr-R spacecraft with a motivation to demonstrate that such type of the instruments is capable to observe the dust impacts into its detectors. The results of analysis are compared with Wind electric field measurements used for a detection of hypervelocity dust impacts.
