Investigating Mercury's Environment with the Two-Spacecraft BepiColombo Mission
A. Milillo, M. Fujimoto, G. Murakami +76
The ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission will provide simultaneous measurements from two spacecraft, offering an unprecedented opportunity to investigate magnetospheric and exospheric dyna…
MESSENGER observations of planetary ion enhancements at Mercury's northern magnetospheric cusp during Flux Transfer Event Showers
Weijie Sun, James A. Slavin, Anna Milillo +11
At Mercury, several processes can release ions and neutrals out of the planet's surface. Here we present enhancements of dayside planetary ions in the solar wind entry layer during…
Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple protonpopulations and beams locally in the solar wind
B. Lavraud, R. Kieokaew, N. Fargette +37
Context. Spacecraft observations early revealed frequent multiple proton populations in the solar wind. Decades of research on their origin have focused on processes such as magnet…
Whistler instability driven by the sunward electron deficit in the solar wind
Laura Berčič, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher J. Owen +18
Solar wind electrons play an important role in the energy balance of the solar wind acceleration by carrying energy into interplanetary space in the form of electron heat flux. The…
The solar-wind angular-momentum flux observed during Solar Orbiter's first orbit
Daniel Verscharen, David Stansby, Adam J. Finley +19
Aims: We present the first measurements of the solar-wind angular-momentum (AM) flux recorded by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Our aim is the validation of these measurements to su…
Signatures of coronal hole substructure in the solar wind: combined Solar Orbiter remote sensing and in situ measurements
T. S. Horbury, R. Laker, L. Rodriguez +21
Context. The Sun's complex corona is the source of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. While the large scale morphology is well understood, the impact of variations i…
The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard
Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
Space Weathering on Near-Earth Objects investigated by neutral-particle detection
C. Plainaki, A. Milillo, S. Orsini +8
The ion-sputtering (IS) process is active in many planetary environments in the Solar System where plasma precipitates directly on the surface (for instance, Mercury, Moon, Europa)…
The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation (PEPSSI) on the New Horizons Mission
Ralph L. McNutt, Stefano A. Livi, Reid S. Gurnee +23
The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation (PEPSSI) comprises the hardware and accompanying science investigation on the New Horizons spacecraft to measure pic…
