Moonraker -- Enceladus Multiple Flyby Mission

O. Mousis, A. Bouquet, Y. Langevin +50

Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could b…

Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple protonpopulations and beams locally in the solar wind

B. Lavraud, R. Kieokaew, N. Fargette +37

Context. Spacecraft observations early revealed frequent multiple proton populations in the solar wind. Decades of research on their origin have focused on processes such as magnet…

Characteristic scales of magnetic switchback patches near the Sun and their possible association with solar supergranulation and granulation

Naïs Fargette, Benoit Lavraud, Alexis Rouillard +16

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data recorded within a heliocentric radial distance of 0.3 AU have revealed a magnetic field dominated by Alfvénic structures that undergo large local vari…

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…

Electron heat flux in the near-Sun environment

J. S. Halekas, P. L. Whittlesey, D. E. Larson +15

We survey the electron heat flux observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in the near-Sun environment at heliocentric distances of 0.125-0.25 AU. We utilized measurements from the…

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…
