Overview
An international workshop on cosmic dust will be held from June 16-18, 2025 in Princeton, NJ.
In a workshop style we will discuss the present state and new venues in cosmic dust research. Major topics of the workshop will include:
- Zodiacal dust complex
- Interstellar dust
- Presolar and cometary dust
- Circumplanetary dust including dusty rings and space debris
- Plumes
- Impact ejecta
- Dusty plasmas
- Dust in exoplanetary systems
- Laboratory measurements, instrumentation, and space missions
In situ and observational results, theoretical models, and the outcome of laboratory experiments will be discussed and their implications for future space missions will be highlighted. Of special emphasis is cosmochemistry and compositional analysis of dust given the upcoming IMAP, Europa Clipper, and DESTINY+ missions. Additionally, we encourage discussion of cross-cutting topics that bridge astrophysical and solar system dust observations.
