Lorentz Scattering of Interplanetary Dust Grains
[chapter]
1985
Astrophysics and Space Science Library
The scattering of dust grains orbits due to recurrent sectors of the interplanetary magnetic field is reinvestigated with a better formalism. Our method reveals the resonant character of the diffusion and is well suited for the problem. The spreads in the orbital parameters are found less important than believed untill now and to vary rapidly with eccentricity and semi-major axis. Only the small dielectric grains with size less than 0.5 urn may be scattered by the Lorentz force fluctuations;
