Slow-mode rarefaction and compression fronts in the Hermean magnetosphere: From MESSENGER insights to future BepiColombo observations
J. Varela, F. Pantellini
Context. Standing slow-mode rarefaction and compression front structures may appear in the Mercury magnetosheath under particular solar wind conditions. Aims. The aim of the study…
MHD study of extreme space weather conditions for exoplanets with Earth-like magnetospheres: On habitability conditions and radio-emission
J. Varela, A. S. Brun, P. Zarka +3
The present study aims at characterizing the habitability conditions of exoplanets with an Earth-like magnetosphere inside the habitable zone of M stars and F stars like tau Boo, c…
MHD study of planetary magnetospheric response during extreme solar wind conditions: Earth and exoplanet magnetospheres applications
J. Varela, A. S. Brun, A. Strugarek +3
Context: The stellar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field modify the topology of planetary magnetospheres. Consequently, the hazardous effect of the direct exposition to the…
A physical model for the magnetosphere of Uranus at solstice time
Filippo Pantellini
Uranus is the only planet in the Solar System whose rotation axis and orbital plane are nearly parallel to each other. Uranus is also the planet with the largest angle between the…
Effect of the exoplanet magnetic field topology on its magnetospheric radio emission
J. Varela, V. Réville, A. S. Brun +2
The magnetized wind from stars that impact exoplanets should lead to radio emissions. According to the scaling laws derived in the solar system, the radio emission should depend on…
Plasma streams in the Hermean dayside magnetosphere: solar wind injection through the reconnection region
J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet
The aim of this research is to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with the magnetic field of Mercury and to study the particle fluxes between the magnetosheath and the plan…
The effect of interplanetary magnetic field orientation on the solar wind flux impacting Mercury's surface
J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet
The aim of this paper is to study the plasma flows on the Mercury surface for different interplanetary magnetic field orientations on the day side of the planet. We use a single fl…
Parametric study of the solar wind interaction with the Hermean magnetosphere for a weak interplanetary magnetic field
J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet
The aim of this study is to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with the Hermean magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field is weak, performing a parametric study…
On the Effect of the Interplanetary Medium on Nanodust Observations by the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory
G. Le Chat, K. Issautier, A. Zaslavsky +4
New measurements using radio and plasma-wave instruments in interplanetary space have shown that nanometer-scale dust, or nanodust, is a significant contributor to the total mass i…
Ion kinetic energy conservation and magnetic field strength constancy in multi-fluid solar wind Alfvénic turbulence
L. Matteini, T. S. Horbury, F. Pantellini +2
We investigate properties of the plasma fluid motion in the large amplitude low frequency fluctuations of highly Alfvénic fast solar wind. We show that protons locally conserve tot…
Interplanetary Nanodust Detection by the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory/WAVES Low Frequency Receiver
G. Le Chat, A. Zaslavsky, N. Meyer-Vernet +7
New measurements using radio and plasma-wave instruments in interplanetary space have shown that nanometer-scale dust, or nanodust, is a significant contributor to the total mass i…
Nano dust impacts on spacecraft and boom antenna charging
Filippo Pantellini, Soraya Belheouane, Nicole Meyer-Vernet +1
High rate sampling detectors measuring the potential difference between the main body and boom antennas of interplanetary spacecraft have been shown to be efficient means to measur…
On the unconstrained expansion of a spherical plasma cloud turning collisionless : case of a cloud generated by a nanometer dust grain impact on an uncharged target in space
F Pantellini, Simone Landi, Arnaud Zaslavsky +1
Nano and micro meter sized dust particles travelling through the heliosphere at several hundreds of km/s have been repeatedly detected by interplanetary spacecraft. When such fast…
