Dust Machine Learning Probability and Assessment

- NASA SPoRT introduced the "Dust RGB" via NASA satellites to demonstrate GOES-R ABI capabilities and then evaluated the impact in operations (Fuell et al. 2016) - The Dust RGB allows for continued dust detection at night, but the cooling ground surface limits the effectiveness as night progresses. - SPoRT has developed a 'Machine Learning' (ML) model using a physically-based approach which can correctly label 85% of dust pixels and 99% of no-dust pixels

Ryugu-Like Phyllosilicate Clast from A Giant Cluster IDP of Probable Cometary Origin: Evidence for Material Exchange Between Asteroidal and Cometary Regions

The presence of hydrous minerals in comets is currently an open question. They were commonly produced inside primitive meteorite parent bodies but apparently not inside the active comets that never contained liquid water. Despite examination of hundreds of particles returned from the Jupiter Family comet Wild 2 by the Stardust(SD) spacecraft, no phyllosilicates have yet been found. Near IR spectra obtained by the Rosetta spacecraft of short-period comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P CG) similarly did not reveal the presence of phyllosilicate minerals. IR spectral features in ejecta from comet Temple 1were interpreted as hydrated minerals but this match is controversial. Studies of a giant cluster interplanetary dust particle (IDP) have demonstrated that the IDP has a large number of chemical and physical properties consistent with its derivation from a comet including 1) its porous aggregate morphology similar to fragile aggregate particles imaged from comet 67P CG, 2) an unequilibrated mineral assemblage, 3) mineral isotopic compositions similar to like minerals in comet Wild 2, 4) uncorrelated Fe-Mn ratios of olivines that mimic those from Wild 2, 5) high presolar silicate abundance [8] and 6) Kool grains which are observed in comet Wild 2 but not in chondrites. Our examination of 70+>5 μm fragments from the IDP have shown that it is overwhelmingly composed of anhydrous silicates. We have observed, however, a 5 x 15 μm porous aggregate fragment (LT10), which contains a rare phyllosilicate clast encased in anhydrous mineral and rock fragments. We conducted detailed TEM and O isotopic analyses of this particle to constrain its origin.
