Deriving the bulk properties of solar wind electrons observed by Solar Orbiter: A preliminary study of electron plasma thermodynamics
Georgios Nicolaou, Robert T. Wicks, Christopher J. Owen +8
We demonstrate the calculation of solar wind electron bulk parameters from recent observations by Solar Wind Analyser Electron Analyser System on board Solar Orbiter. We use our me…
Whistler instability driven by the sunward electron deficit in the solar wind
Laura Berčič, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher J. Owen +18
Solar wind electrons play an important role in the energy balance of the solar wind acceleration by carrying energy into interplanetary space in the form of electron heat flux. The…
The solar-wind angular-momentum flux observed during Solar Orbiter's first orbit
Daniel Verscharen, David Stansby, Adam J. Finley +19
Aims: We present the first measurements of the solar-wind angular-momentum (AM) flux recorded by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Our aim is the validation of these measurements to su…
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…
Carbon chain anions and the growth of complex organic molecules in Titan's ionosphere
R. T. Desai, A. J. Coates, A. Wellbrock +12
Cassini discovered a plethora of neutral and ionised molecules in Titan's ionosphere including, surprisingly, anions and negatively charged molecules extending up to 13,800 u/q. In…
Corotating Magnetic Reconnection Site in Saturn's Magnetosphere
Zhonghua Yao, A. J. Coates, L. C. Ray +12
Using measurements from the Cassini spacecraft in Saturn's magnetosphere, we propose a 3D physical picture of a corotating reconnection site, which can only be driven by an interna…
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…
