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…
Multi-instrument analysis of far-ultraviolet aurora in the southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
P. Stephenson, M. Galand, P. D. Feldman +9
Aims. We aim to determine whether dissociative excitation of cometary neutrals by electron impact is the major source of far-ultraviolet (FUV) emissions at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gera…
Momentum and pressure balance of a comet ionosphere
Hayley Williamson, Hans Nilsson, Gabriella Stenberg Wieser +3
We calculate the momentum flux and pressure of ions measured by the Ion Composition Analyzer (ICA) on the Rosetta mission at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The total momentum flu…
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…
Rosetta photoelectron emission and solar ultraviolet flux at comet 67P
Fredrik L. Johansson, E. Odelstad, J. J. P. Paulsson +10
The Langmuir Probe instrument on Rosetta monitored the photoelectron emission cur- rent of the probes during the Rosetta mission at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in essence acti…
