Using a fast time-of-flight mass spectrometer, a complete set of ions are detected for each impact, from a mass range of 1 (atomic hydrogen) up to a few thousand atomic mass units, encompassing all elements in the per...

The CIDA instrument is a mass spectrometer, which separates ions' masses by comparing differences in their flight times. The operating principle of the instrument is the following: when a dust particle hits the target...
The main objective of COSIMA is to study the physical and chemical composition of the comet’s dust environment as well as processes that occur in, on, and near the cometary nucleus.
Deciphering the composition of interstellar, cometary, and asteroidal dust offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the origin and evolution of our solar system.
We present measurements of the dust particle flux and mass distribution from the Stardust Dust Flux Monitor Instrument (DFMI) throughout the flyby of comet 81P/Wild
Using a fast time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer, a complete set of ions are detected for each impact, from a mass range of 1 (atomic hydrogen) up to a few thousand atomic mass units, encompassing all elements in the per...

For the first time mass spectra of negative ions are available for cometary particles. Unlike the spectra from interstellar particles they show only a few lines indicating small dust particles as their source.
CIDA could measure masses ranging from 1 to a few thousand atomic mass units (amu), encompassing all elements in the periodic table plus many molecules, including organic compounds.
