VOEvent for Solar and Planetary Sciences

Baptiste Cecconi, Pierre Le Sidaner, Lukasz Tomasik +5

With its Planetary Space Weather Service (PSWS), the Europlanet-H2020 Research Insfrastructure (EPN2020RI) project is proposing a compelling set of databases and tools to that prov…

Studying the solar system with the International Pulsar Timing Array

R. N. Caballero, Y. J. Guo, K. J. Lee +77

Pulsar-timing analyses are sensitive to errors in the solar-system ephemerides (SSEs) that timing models utilise to estimate the location of the solar-system barycentre, the quasi-…

Supermassive Hot Jupiters Provide More Favourable Conditions for the Generation of Radio Emission via the Cyclotron Maser Instability - A Case Study Based on Tau Bootis b

C. Weber, N. V. Erkaev, V. A. Ivanov +5

We investigate under which conditions supermassive hot Jupiters can sustain source regions for radio emission, and whether this emission could propagate to an observer outside the…

An Orbitrap-based laser desorption/ablation mass spectrometer designed for spaceflight

Ricardo Arevalo, Laura Selliez, Christelle Briois +8

RATIONALE: The investigation of cryogenic planetary environments as potential harbors for extant life and/or contemporary sites of organic synthesis represents an emerging focal po…

Krypton isotopes and noble gas abundances in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Martin Rubin, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +24

The ROSINA mass spectrometer DFMS on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected the major isotopes of the noble gases argon, krypton, and xenon in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gera…

Cold electrons at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Ilka A. D. Engelhardt, Anders I. Eriksson, Erik Vigren +4

The electron temperature of the plasma is one important aspect of the environment. Electrons created by photoionization or impact ionization of atmospheric gas have energies …

Solar wind dynamics around a comet - A 2D semi-analytical kinetic model

E. Behar, B. Tabone, M. Saillenfest +5

We aim at analytically modelling the solar wind proton trajectories during their interaction with a partially ionised cometary atmosphere, not in terms of bulk properties of the fl…

The root of a comet tail - Rosetta ion observations at comet 67P/Churyumov--Gerasimenko

E. Behar, H. Nilsson, P. Henri +7

The first 1000 km of the ion tail of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were explored by the European Rosetta spacecraft, 2.7 au away from the Sun. We characterised the dynamics of bo…

Magnetic Fields of Extrasolar Planets: Planetary Interiors and Habitability

J. Lazio, G. Hallinan, V. Airapetian +13

Jupiter's radio emission has been linked to its planetary-scale magnetic field, and spacecraft investigations have revealed that most planets, and some moons, have or had a global…

The search for radio emission from exoplanets using LOFAR beam-formed observations: Jupiter as an exoplanet

Jake D. Turner, Jean-Mathias Grießmeier, Philippe Zarka +1

The magnetized Solar System planets are strong radio emitters and theoretical studies suggest that the radio emission from nearby exoplanets in close-in orbits…
