First-year ion-acoustic wave observations in the solar wind by the RPW/TDS instrument onboard Solar Orbiter
D. PÃÅ¡a, J. SouÄek, O. SantolÃk +21
Electric field measurements of the Time Domain Sampler (TDS) receiver, part of the Radio and Plasma Waves (RPW) instrument on board Solar Orbiter, often exhibit very intense broadb…
Density Fluctuations Associated with Turbulence and Waves: First Observations by Solar Orbiter
Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham, A. Vaivads +21
We use the plasma density based on measurements of the probe-to-spacecraft potential in combination with magnetic field measurements by MAG to study fields and density fluctuations…
Statistical study of electron density turbulence and ion-cyclotron waves in the inner heliosphere: Solar Orbiter observations
F. Carbone, L. Sorriso-Valvo, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev +27
The recently released spacecraft potential measured by the RPW instrument on-board Solar Orbiter has been used to estimate the solar wind electron density in the inner heliosphere.…
Whistler waves observed by Solar Orbiter / RPW between 0.5 AU and 1 AU
M. Kretzschmar, T. Chust, V. Krasnoselskikh +29
The goal of our study is to detect and characterize the electromagnetic waves that can modify the electron distribution functions, with a special attention to whistler waves. We an…
The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
First dust measurements with the Solar Orbiter Radio and Plasma Wave instrument
A. Zaslavsky, I. Mann, J. Soucek +20
Impacts of dust grains on spacecraft are known to produce typical impulsive signals in the voltage waveform recorded at the terminals of electric antennas. Such signals are routine…
Solar wind current sheets and deHoffmann-Teller analysis: First results of DC electric field measurements by Solar Orbiter
K. Steinvall, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, G. Cozzani +25
Solar Orbiter was launched on February 10, 2020 with the purpose of investigating solar and heliospheric physics using a payload of instruments designed for both remote and in-situ…
Solar Orbiter/RPW antenna calibration in the radio domain and its application to type III burst observations
A. Vecchio, M. Maksimovic, V. Krupar +18
In order to allow for a comparison with the measurements from other antenna systems, the voltage power spectral density measured by the Radio and Plasma waves receiver (RPW) on boa…
Kinetic Electrostatic Waves and their Association with Current Structures in the Solar Wind
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, A. Vaivads +21
A variety of kinetic waves develop in the solar wind. The relationship between these waves and larger-scale structures, such as current sheets and ongoing turbulence remain a topic…
