The Electrodynamics of Charged Dust in the Cometary Environment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Dust in the plasma and radiative environment of a comet is necessarily electrically charged. This charging has both physical and dynamical effects on the dust, being particularly important on the smallest particles observed in the dust size spectrum. In this paper, these dynamical effects are reviewed and the pertinent observations are discussed.
