Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard
Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
Large-scale solar wind flow around Saturn's nonaxisymmetric magnetosphere
A. H. Sulaiman, X. Jia, N. Achilleos +3
The interaction between the solar wind and a magnetosphere is fundamental to the dynamics of a planetary system. Here, we address fundamental questions on the large-scale magnetosh…
An in situ comparison of electron acceleration at collisionless shocks under differing upstream magnetic field orientations
A. Masters, A. H. Sulaiman, Ł. Stawarz +6
A leading explanation for the origin of Galactic cosmic rays is acceleration at high-Mach number shock waves in the collisionless plasma surrounding young supernova remnants. Evide…
Suprathermal electrons at Saturn's bow shock
A. Masters, A. H. Sulaiman, N. Sergis +4
The leading explanation for the origin of galactic cosmic rays is particle acceleration at the shocks surrounding young supernova remnants (SNRs), although crucial aspects of the a…
Cassini in situ observations of long-duration magnetic reconnection in Saturn's magnetotail
Christopher S. Arridge, Jonathan P. Eastwood, Caitriona M. Jackman +15
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in solar system and astrophysical plasmas, through which stored magnetic energy associated with current sheets is converted into ther…
Titan interaction with the supersonic solar wind
C. Bertucci, D. C. Hamilton, W. S. Kurth +5
After 9 years in the Saturn system, the Cassini spacecraft finally observed Titan in the supersonic solar wind. These unique observations reveal that Titan interaction with the sol…
Polar Confinement of Saturn's Magnetosphere Revealed by in-situ Cassini Observations
Nathan M. Pilkington, Nicholas Achilleos, Christopher S. Arridge +4
Plasma rotation plays a large role in determining the size and shape of Saturn's disc-like magnetosphere. A magnetosphere more confined to the equator in the polar regions is expec…
Electron acceleration to relativistic energies at a strong quasi-parallel shock wave
A. Masters, L. Stawarz, M. Fujimoto +9
Electrons can be accelerated to ultrarelativistic energies at strong (high-Mach number) collisionless shock waves that form when stellar debris rapidly expands after a supernova. C…
Influence of Hot Plasma Pressure on the Global Structure of Saturn's Magnetodisk
N. Achilleos, P. Guio, C. S. Arridge +4
Using a model of force balance in Saturn's disk-like magnetosphere, we show that variations in hot plasma pressure can change the magnetic field configuration. This effect changes…
