Welcome to the Focus Meeting (FM10) on Nano Dust in Space and Astrophysics from Tuesday 28 August to Wednesday 29 August 2018 at the IAU General Assembly in Vienna (2018). The 2-day meeting will include a combination of invited talks, contributed talks and posters.
The goal of this Focus Meeting is to combine knowledge and bring together researchers from space in-situ measurements with astronomers and astrophysicist to make progress in understanding nano dust particles by combining their knowledge on dust under a wide range of space conditions. Topics include:laboratory experiments on nano dust formation, nano dust destruction and observations in the interstellar medium, Nano dust in solar wind and planetary debris disks, nano dust in the vicinity of solar system objects,physical and chemical interactions of nano dust in space and planetary atmospheres, meteors and the link to nano dust in the Earth atmosphere, nanodust in cosmic dusty plasma, dusty plasma interactions near planetary surfaces and in magnetospheres, nanodust in stellar atmospheres and winds, physics and astrophysics of carbonaceous nanoparticles including fullerenes.
