Abstract

The structure of the solar system dust cloud as revealed by IRAS all-sky survey data is discussed. Fourier analysis was used to separate the smooth, large-scale zodiacal background from the narrower dust lanes. The geometry of the background zodiacal cloud appears to show features associated with both the forced inclinations and the forced eccentricities of the dust particle orbits. The ecliptic latitude of the peak of the background zodiacal emission varies nearly sinusoidally with ecliptic longitude with an amplitude of 2.1 + or -0.2 degrees. However, there are marked displacements, both in latitude and longitude, between the leading or ascending curve and the trailing or descending curve, implying that the curves exhibit significant deviations from a simple sinusoidal variation. It is suggested that the plane of symmetry of the background cloud is inclined to the ecliptic by 1.47 + or -0.10 degrees with a descending node of 230 + or -4 degrees, and that the sun is not at the center of symmetry of the cloud.

Abstract

Asteroids are studied because, together with comets, they are one of the few sources of information on conditions in the early solar system. Asteroids have been classified into a small number of distinct types and the distribution of these types with respect to their distances from the sun gives information on the chemical structure of the primitive solar nebula. Asteroids are also believed to be the primary source of meteorites and thus the most abundant, diverse and accessible source of extraterrestrial material. There have been several major advances in asteroidal science in recent years. We now have a clear understanding of the origin of some of the Kirkwood gaps in the distribution of asteroidal semimajor axes and of the role that these gaps have in the delivery of meteorites to the Earth. Secondly, the number of meteorites available for study has increased since the discovery of the meteorite fields on the Antarctic ice cap. As expected, IRAS data on asteroidal albedos (the diameters and albedos of 1,811 asteroids have now been measured) will vastly extend the classification work. We anticipate that new insights into the chemical structure of the asteroid belt will be revealed by plotting the variations of the colors and albedos of asteroids in a given class against their distance from the sun. Unexpected products of the IRAS mission include the discovery of a small body in the Geminid meteor stream and the discovery of structure in the zodiacal cloud. The IRAS solar system dust bands provide a further connection with asteroids since they may be collision products of asteroids, possibly members of the major Hirayama families, implying that asteroids may be a significant source of the particles in the zodiacal cloud.
