White paper on the relevance of the European Solar Telescope (EST) for the French heliophysics

E. Pariat, Q. Noraz, B. Perri +61

The project of the European Solar Telescope aims to provide a state-of-the art infrastructure to study the Sun and its interactions with Earth and the heliosphere. This 4.2m apertu…

Theoretical calculation of the antenna impedance and shot noise at low-frequencies: application to Parker Solar Probe

Nicole Meyer-Vernet, Baptiste Verkampt, Pietro Dazzi +1

The voltage power spectral density measured around the ambient plasma frequency in space is not affected by spacecraft perturbations that impact traditional plasma analysers. The s…

Will nanodust reappear in STEREO/WAVES data?

Nicole Meyer-Vernet

Nanodust particles produced near the Sun by collisional breakup of larger grains are accelerated in the magnetised solar wind and reach high speeds outwards of 1 AU. Vaporisation a…

On the plasma quasi-thermal noise in the outer heliosphere

Nicole Meyer-Vernet, Alain Lecacheux

The recent paper by Li et al. on electron quasi-thermal noise in the outer heliosphere is flawed. It assumes the plasma drift speed to be much smaller than the electron thermal spe…

Plasma line detected by Voyager 1 in the interstellar medium: Tips and traps for quasi-thermal noise spectroscopy

N. Meyer-Vernet, A. Lecacheux, M. Moncuquet +2

The quasi-thermal motion of plasma particles produces electrostatic fluctuations, whose voltage power spectrum induced on electric antennas reveals plasma properties. In weakly mag…

Weak line discovered by Voyager 1 in the interstellar medium: Quasi-thermal noise produced by very few fast electrons

N. Meyer-Vernet, A. Lecacheux, K. Issautier +1

A weak continuous line has been recently discovered onboard Voyager 1 in the interstellar medium, whose origin raised two major questions. First, how can this line be produced by p…
