Dr. Bauer, a highly regarded laboratory chemist at Cornell                      University, will directly measure rate constants for association                and evaporation reactions for selected metal oxides, nitrides,                  and silicides.  These data are needed to correctly model the                    condensation sequences proposed for the formation of proto-                     planetary grains and particles in planetary atmospheres.                                                                                                        Extraterrestrial dust with which the Earth is constantly                        bombarded is one of several primary sources of knowledge of our                 Universe.  Its origin, its distribution in space, the morphology,               and the chemical composition of the solid particles designated as               cosmic dust are topics of great interest.  One important means of               learning the nature of cosmic dust is to study the properties of                possible constituents in laboratories on Earth.
