Abstract

Radio and plasma wave instruments in space can detect cosmic dust over a wide range of sizes through impact ionization. Our understanding of dust particle properties can be gained from analyzing such electric pulses. In order to explain how dust particles produce electrical signals, several physical mechanisms have been proposed. Recently, Rackovic Babic et al. (2022) developed a model which takes into account all the effects of charge collection by the spacecraft and electrostatic influence from charges in its vicinity. The authors tested the model’s accuracy using the database specially created for a given purpose. This paper aims to examine the mathematical significance of the obtained results from the fitting method.
