Spacecraft wakes in the solar wind
Anders I. Eriksson, Yuri Khotyaintsev, Per-Arne Lindqvist
The solar wind flow creates a wake behind any spacecraft immersed in it. We study the properties of this wake using the spherical electrostatic probes of the Electric Fields and Wa…
A Potential Aid in the Target Selection for the Comet Interceptor Mission
Erik Vigren, Anders I. Eriksson, Niklas J. T. Edberg +1
The upcoming Comet Interceptor mission involves a parking phase around the Sun-Earth L2 point before transferring to intercept the orbit of a long period comet, interstellar object…
Cometary Ionospheres: An Updated Tutorial
Arnaud Beth, Marina Galand, Cyril Simon Wedlund +1
This chapter aims at providing the tools and knowledge to understand and model the plasma environment surrounding comets in the innermost part near the nucleus. In particular, our…
Implications from secondary emission from neutral impact on Cassini plasma and dust measurements
Fredrik Leffe Johansson, Erik Vigren, Jack Hunter Waite +4
We investigate the role of secondary electron and ion emission from impact of gas molecules on the Cassini Langmuir Probe (RPWS-LP, or LP) measurements in the ionosphere of Saturn.…
The spacecraft wake: Interference with electric field observations and a possibility to detect cold ions
M. André, A. I. Eriksson, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev +1
Wakes behind spacecraft caused by supersonic drifting positive ions are common in plasmas and disturb in situ measurements. We review the impact of wakes on observations by the Ele…
Plasma densities, flow and Solar EUV flux at comet 67P - A cross-calibration approach
F. L. Johansson, A. I. Eriksson, E. Vigren +7
During its two-year mission at comet 67P, Rosetta nearly continuously monitored the inner coma plasma environment for gas production rates varying over three orders of magnitude, a…
