“…IMEM was tested against those data not incorporated in the model by Dikarev et al (2005b), confirming that the orbital evolution approach allows for more reliable extrapolations of the observations and measurements incorporated in the model; it is compared with several other meteoroid models by Drolshagen et al (2008).…”

“…The rates vary with the distance from the Sun; however, the transition mass remains nearly unchanged (Fig. 6 in Grün et al 1985), which is why Dikarev et al (2005a) were able to simplify the problem by dividing the mass range into two subranges with distinct mass distribution slopes and dynamics. Meteoroids below the transition mass of 10 −5 g are treated as migrating from the sources toward the Sun under the Poynting-Robertson drag; meteoroids above the transition mass are assumed to retain the orbits of their ultimate ancestor bodies over their short lifetimes until collisional destruction.…”

“…In this paper, we use three recent and contemporary models of the zodiacal dust cloud developed by Kelsall et al (1998), Divine (1993), and Dikarev et al (2005a). The first model is constrained by the infrared observations from the Earth-orbiting satellite COBE (hereafter the Kelsall model).…”

“…The Interplanetary Meteoroid Engineering Model (IMEM) was developed for ESA by Dikarev et al (2005a). Like the Divine model, it uses the distributions of orbital elements and mass rather than the spatial density functions of the Kelsall model, ensuring that the dust densities and fluxes are predicted in accord with Keplerian dynamics of the constituent particles in heliocentric orbits.…”

“…Cumulative distribution functions of particle cross-section area in mass (size) for each population of the interplanetary meteoroid model by Divine (1993) and IMEM (Dikarev et al 2005a). The material density of particles is equal to 2.5 g cm −3 in both models except Divine's eccentric population where it is ten times lower.…”

Predictions of the microwave thermal emission from the zodiacal dust cloud are made using several contemporary meteoroid models to construct the distributions of the cross-section area of dust in space, and by applying the Mie light-scattering theory to estimate the temperatures and emissivities of dust particles in a wide range of sizes and heliocentric distances. In particular, the Kelsall model of the zodiacal light emission based on COBE infrared observations is extrapolated to the microwaves with assistance from fits to selected IRAS and Planck data. Furthermore, the five populations of interplanetary meteoroids by Divine and the Interplanetary Meteoroid Engineering Model (IMEM) based on a variety of remote and in situ observations of dust are used in combination with the optical properties of olivine, carbonaceous, and iron spherical particles. The Kelsall model has been accepted by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) community for subtraction of the zodiacal cloud's foreground emission. We show, however, that the Kelsall model predicts microwave emission from interplanetary dust that is remarkably different from the results obtained by applying the meteoroid engineering models. We make maps and spectra of the microwave emission predicted by all three models assuming different compositions of dust particles. The predictions can be used to look for the emission from interplanetary dust in CMB experiments and to plan new observations.

Micrometeoroids are natural dust particles with masses between 10 −21 and 10 −9 kg (0.01–100 μm). In contrast to space debris, their sources are bodies in the solar system like comets, asteroids or planetary environments. Although comets are the most obvious source of interplanetary dust in the inner solar system, there exist a variety of dusty phenomena and dust sources. An recent summary about interplanetary dust was given by gruen 2001. Our current knowledge is based on remote sensing observations (light scattering, thermal emissions), in‐situ dust experiments, (Pioneer, Giotto, Helios, Heos, Nozomi, Gorid, Galileo, Cassini, Ulysses, Stardust, New Horizon), crater studies of moon rocks or of planetary moon surfaces, meteor radar studies and laboratory sample analysis. (dust extracted from polar ices, dust collected in the stratosphere, dust returned by Stardust, dust and space debris impact residues of returned satellite parts). The following sections describe the measurement techniques of micrometeoroids, the properties of interplanetary dust (mass flux, dynamics, or composition) and the dust sources like comets, asteroids, or planetary environments. Two later sections give examples of laboratory simulation facilities. Finally, hazards related to hyper‐velocity micrometeoroid impacts are discussed.
