The properties of dust ion acoustic rogue waves (DIARWs) in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma system composed of charged dust grains, superthermal electrons and warm ions as a fluid are studied. The multiple scale perturbation method is used to derive a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) for DIARWs. From the coefficients of nonlinearity and dispersion, we have determined the critical wave number threshold k(cr) at which modulational instability sets in. This critical wave number depends on the various plasma parameters, viz. superthermality of electrons, ion temperature and dust concentration. Within the modulational instability region, a random perturbation of amplitude grows and thus, creates DIARWs. It is found that DIARWs are significantly affected by electron superthermality (via.), ion temperature (via sigma) and dust concentration (via f). In view of the crucial importance of DIARWs in space environments, our results may be useful in understanding the basic features of DIARWs that may occur in space plasmas.
