- Bridges collaborated on determining the analytical protocols and design of the search for microscopic craters formed by the impact of interstellar grains on aluminium foils from the Stardust mission. He analysed some of the foils by electron microscopy, producing crater distribution data and compositional analyses of residue within the craters, used in the paper to distinguish interstellar from non-interstellar impactors. Bridges participated in drafting the manuscript and interpretation of the data.
