Gone with the Wind ON_Mars (GOWON): A Wind-Driven Networked System of Mobile Sensors on Mars
Faranak Davoodi, Ali Hajimiri, Neil Murphy +3
We propose a revolutionary way of studying the sur-face of Mars using a wind-driven network of mobile sensors- Gone with the Wind ON_Mars (GOWON). GOWON is envisioned to be a scala…
Science opportunities with solar sailing smallsats
Slava G. Turyshev, Darren Garber, Louis D. Friedman +25
Recently, we witnessed how the synergy of small satellite technology and solar sailing propulsion enables new missions. Together, small satellites with lightweight instruments and…
Leveraging space-based data from the nearest Solar-type star to better understand stellar activity signatures in radial velocity data
Tamar Ervin, Samuel Halverson, Abigail Burrows +8
Stellar variability is a key obstacle in reaching the sensitivity required to recover Earth-like exoplanetary signals using the radial velocity (RV) detection method. To explore ac…
Magnetized winds of M-type stars and star-planet magnetic interactions: uncertainties and modeling strategy
Victor Réville, Jamie M. Jasinski, Marco Velli +6
M-type stars are the most common stars in the universe. They are ideal hosts for the search of exoplanets in the habitable zone (HZ), as their small size and low temperature make t…
A journey of exploration to the polar regions of a star: probing the solar poles and the heliosphere from high helio-latitude
Louise Harra, Vincenzo Andretta, Thierry Appourchaux +29
A mission to view the solar poles from high helio-latitudes (above 60) will build on the experience of Solar Orbiter as well as a long heritage of successful solar missions…
Revealing the interior structure of icy moons with a Bayesian approach to magnetic induction measurements
John B. Biersteker, Benjamin P. Weiss, Corey J. Cochrane +6
Some icy moons and small bodies in the solar system are believed to host subsurface liquid water oceans. The interaction of these saline, electrically conductive oceans with time-v…
Observed local dispersion relations for magneto-acoustic-gravity waves in the Sun's atmosphere: Mapping the acoustic cut-off frequency
Stuart M. Jefferies, Bernhard Fleck, Neil Murphy +1
We present the observed local dispersion relations for magneto-acoustic-gravity waves in the Sun's atmosphere for different levels of magnetic field strength. We model these data w…
