Abstract
Abstract. The electric and magnetic field instrument suite FIELDS
on board the NASA Parker Solar Probe and the radio and plasma waves
instrument RPW on the ESA Solar Orbiter mission that explore the inner
heliosphere are sensitive to signals generated by dust impacts. Dust impacts have been observed using electric field antennas on spacecraft since the 1980s
and the method was recently used with a number of space missions to derive
dust fluxes. Here, we consider the details of dust impacts, subsequent
development of the impact generated plasma and how it produces the measured
signals. We describe empirical approaches to characterise the signals and
compare these in a qualitative discussion of laboratory simulations to predict
signal shapes for spacecraft measurements in the inner solar system. While
the amount of charge production from a dust impact will be higher near the
Sun than observed in the interplanetary medium before, the amplitude of
pulses is determined by the recovery behaviour that is different near the
Sun since it varies with the plasma environment.
