Beschreibung:
Nuclear tracks have been identified in interplanetary dust particles (IDP's) collected from the stratosphere. The presence of tracks unambiguously confirms the extraterrestrial nature of IDP's, and the high track densities (10(10) to 10(11) per square centimeter) suggest an exposure age of approximately 10(4) years within the inner solar system. Tracks also provide an upper temperature limit for the heating of IDP's during atmospheric entry, thereby making it possible to distinguish between pristine and thermally modified micrometeorites.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bradley, J P -- Brownlee, D E -- Fraundorf, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Dec 21;226(4681):1432-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17788999" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
