Abstract

Dusty white dwarfs are natural objects for studying the properties of cosmic dusty plasmas. We present the results of computation of the charge, radius, and temperature of a carbon dust particle in the atmosphere of dusty white dwarf G29-38, which is a typical example of a dusty white dwarf. The calculation results show that dust particles life-time in the atmospheres of dusty white dwarfs is of the order of microsecond. Therefore, dust particles cannot be sustained in a typical white dwarf atmosphere.
