摘要:

当一个快速的尘埃粒子撞击航天器时,它会产生一团等离子体,其中一些会逃逸到太空中,瞬间的电荷不平衡会干扰航天器相对于等离子体的电压。电子领先于离子,但两者都对航天器的直流电场作出反应。如果航天器的电位相对于等离子体是正的,它应该吸引尘埃云电子并排斥离子,反之亦然。在这里,我们使用的脉冲电压信号的测量,从灰尘的影响帕克太阳探测器(PSP)航天器显示,峰值电压幅度明显相关的航天器浮动电位,与理论模型和实验室测量一致。此外,我们还研究了与电压波形相关的一些时间尺度,并与航天器充电物理的时间尺度进行了比较。

英文摘要:

When a fast dust particle hits a spacecraft, it generates a cloud of plasma some of which escapes into space and the momentary charge imbalance perturbs the spacecraft voltage with respect to the plasma. Electrons race ahead of ions, however both respond to the DC electric field of the spacecraft. If the spacecraft potential is positive with respect to the plasma, it should attract the dust cloud electrons and repel the ions, and vice versa. Here we use measurements of impulsive voltage signals from dust impacts on the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft to show that the peak voltage amplitude is clearly related to the spacecraft floating potential, consistent with theoretical models and laboratory measurements. In addition, we examine some timescales associated with the voltage waveforms and compare to the timescales of spacecraft charging physics.
