Cassini's floating potential in Titan's ionosphere: 3-D Particle-In-Cell Simulations
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra Desai, Oleg Shebanits +2
Accurate determination of Cassini's spacecraft potential in Titan's ionosphere is important for interpreting measurements by its low energy plasma instruments. Estimates of the flo…
Simulating secondary electron and ion emission from the Cassini spacecraft in Saturn's ionosphere
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra T. Desai, Oleg Shebanits +3
The Cassini spacecraft's Grand Finale flybys through Saturn's ionosphere provided unprecedented insight into the composition and dynamics of the gas giant's upper atmosphere and a…
Photodetachment and Test-Particle Simulation Constraints on Negative Ions in Solar System Plasmas
Ravindra T. Desai, Zeqi Zhang, Xinni Wu +1
Negative ions have been detected in abundance in recent years by spacecraft across the solar system. These detections were, however, made by instruments not designed for this purpo…
Particle-In-Cell Simulations of the Cassini Spacecraft's Interaction with Saturn's Ionosphere during the Grand Finale
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra T. Desai, Yohei Miyake +2
A surprising and unexpected phenomenon observed during Cassini's Grand Finale was the spacecraft charging to positive potentials in Saturn's ionosphere. Here, the ionospheric plasm…
