Plasma vortices driven by magnetic torsion generated by electric currents in non-magnetic planetary wakes
Hector Javier Durand-Manterola, Alberto Flandes, Hector Perez-de-Tejada
In non-collisional magnetized astrophysical plasmas, vortices can form as it is the case of the Venus plasma wake where Lundin et al. (2013) identified a large vortex through the i…
Possible scenarios that the New Horizons spacecraft may find in its close encounter with Pluto
Hector Javier Durand-Manterola, Hector Perez-de-Tejada
Next year, 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft will have a close encounter with Pluto. In the present study we discuss some possibilities regarding what the spacecraft may encounter…
The Dispersion Equation of MGD Waves for non-stationary Plasmas
H. Pérez-de-Tejada, Eric Gómez-Gómez
The dispersion equation of MGD plasma waves measured in a reference frame with a relative speed from that where they are generated is derived. The analysis leads further from what…
Solar wind driven plasma fluxes from the Venus ionosphere
H. Perez-de-Tejada, R. Lundin, S. Barabash +4
Measurements conducted with the ASPERA-4 instrument and the magnetometer of the Venus Express spacecraft show that the dynamic pressure of planetary O+ ion fluxes measured in the V…
Superrotation on Venus: Driven By Waves Generated By Dissipation of the Transterminator Flow
Hector Javier Durand-Manterola
Context: The superrotation phenomenon in the atmosphere on Venus has been known since the late 60's. But until now no mechanism proposed has satisfactorily explained this phenomeno…
Viscous-like Interaction of the Solar Wind with the Plasma Tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle
M. Reyes-Ruiz, R. Vazquez, H. Perez-de-Tejada
We compare the results of the numerical simulation of the viscous-like interaction of the solar wind with the plasma tail of a comet, with velocities of H2O+ ions in the tail of co…
Numerical Simulation of the Viscous-like Flow in and Around the Plasma Tail of a Comet
M. Reyes-Ruiz, H. Perez-de-Tejada, H. Aceves +1
We model the interaction of the solar wind with the plasma tail of a comet by means of numerical simulations, taking into account the effects of viscous-like forces.A 2D hydrodynam…
