An orbital window into the ancient Sun's mass — mentioned by zyrxvo

This article by Lhotka & Gale (2019) <https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02778> is a little beyond my patience for understanding, but they have an excellent parameter space plot in Figure 1 relating a bunch of different effects with respect to dust grain size. Their figure only goes up to grains 1 cm in size though. However, it's a detailed paper on the relative "importance of the interplanetary magnetic field on the orbital evolution of dust". I met Lhotka at a conference where they presented this work. I think this discussion is really fascinating, and it's certainly something that I didn't…
