Kinetic-Scale Physics of a Multi-Species Solar Wind
Anja Moeslinger, Herbert Gunell, Gabriella Stenberg Wieser +2
The solar wind affects the plasma environment around all solar system bodies. A strong solar wind dynamic pressure pushes plasma boundaries closer to these objects. For small objec…

The source of electrons at comet 67P
P. Stephenson, A. Beth, J. Deca +8
We examine the origin of electrons in a weakly outgassing comet, using Rosetta mission data and a 3D collisional model of electrons at a comet. We have calculated a new dataset of…
