    • Characterisation, Sources and Flux of Unmelted Micrometeorites on Earth During the Last ~50,000 Years 

      ShyamPrasad, M.; Rudraswami, N.G.; DeAraujo, A.A.; Khedekar, V.D. (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
      Dust dominates extraterrestrial flux on the earth (30,000 tonnes/yr), however only ~5% of the cosmic dust survives atmospheric entry which is basically in two forms: melted and unmelted. Melted micrometeorites undergo ...
    • Rare, metal micrometeorites from the Indian Ocean 

      ShyamPrasad, M.; Rudraswami, N.G.; DeAraujo, A.A.; Khedekar, V.D. (John Wiley & Sons, 2019)
      Metal in various forms is common in almost all meteorites but considerably rare among micrometeorites. We report here the discovery of two metal micrometeorites, i.e., (1) an awaruite grain similar to those found in the ...
    • Unmelted cosmic metal particles in the Indian Ocean 

      ShyamPrasad, M.; Rudraswami, N.G.; DeAraujo, A.A.; Khedekar, V.D. (Wiley, 2017)
      Fe?Ni metal is a common constituent of most meteorites and is an indicator of the thermal history of the respective meteorites, it is a diagnostic tool to distinguish between groups/subgroups of meteorites. In spite of ...
