Indian scientists for the first time developed a visually realistic cosmic dust model using a set of numerical algorithms

Vijay Raman

State of the art visually realistic cosmic dust model created by scientists to replicate the unusual polarisation properties of the first observed interstellar comet (not gravitationally bound to a star), 2I/Borisov, can reproduce experimental as well as observational data of light scattered by dust. The particles would be useful to determine the physical properties of dust present in different regions of space.   Generally, Solar System comets are categorised in two polarimetric classes: low and high polarisation comets depending on the different dust-to-gas ratio observed in the coma. Apart from…
