Interaction between the turbulent solar wind and a planetary magnetosphere: a 2D comet example
Behar Etienne, Henri Pierre
Using the newly developed code \emph{Menura}, we present the first global picture of the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and a planetary obstacle in our solar system, na…
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…
Menura: a code for simulating the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and solar system bodies
Etienne Behar, Shahab Fatemi, Pierre Henri +1
Despite the close relationship between planetary science and plasma physics, few advanced numerical tools allow to bridge the two topics. The code Menura proposes a breakthrough to…
Cometary Plasma Science -- A White Paper in response to the Voyage 2050 Call by the European Space Agency
Charlotte Götz, Herber Gunell, Martin Volwerk +27
Comets hold the key to the understanding of our solar system, its formation and its evolution, and to the fundamental plasma processes at work both in it and beyond it. A comet nuc…
AMBITION -- Comet Nucleus Cryogenic Sample Return (White paper for ESA's Voyage 2050 programme)
D. Bockelée-Morvan, G. Filacchione, K. Altwegg +27
This white paper proposes that AMBITION, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission, be a cornerstone of ESA's Voyage 2050 programme. We summarise some of the most important questions s…
The root of a comet tail - Rosetta ion observations at comet 67P/Churyumov--Gerasimenko
E. Behar, H. Nilsson, P. Henri +7
The first 1000 km of the ion tail of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were explored by the European Rosetta spacecraft, 2.7 au away from the Sun. We characterised the dynamics of bo…
