Detection and characterization of wind-blown charged sand grains on Titan with the DraGMet/EFIELD experiment on Dragonfly
Audrey Chatain, Alice Le Gall, Jean-Jacques Berthelier +5
The EFIELD instrument is part of the geophysics and meteorology sensor package DraGMet on the Dragonfly mission, which will explore the surface of Titan in the mid-2030s. EFIELD co…
Moonraker -- Enceladus Multiple Flyby Mission
O. Mousis, A. Bouquet, Y. Langevin +50
Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could b…
Science goals and new mission concepts for future exploration of Titan's atmosphere geology and habitability: Titan POlar Scout/orbitEr and In situ lake lander and DrONe explorer (POSEIDON)
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +61
In response to ESA Voyage 2050 announcement of opportunity, we propose an ambitious L-class mission to explore one of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System, Saturn largest m…
Scientific rationale for Uranus and Neptune in situ explorations
O. Mousis, D. H. Atkinson, T. Cavalié +53
The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are the least understood class of planets in our solar system but the most frequently observed type of exoplanets. Presumed to have a small rocky…
Cold and warm electrons at comet 67P
A. I. Eriksson, I. A. D. Engelhardt, M. Andre +20
Strong electron cooling on the neutral gas in cometary comae has been predicted for a long time, but actual measurements of low electron temperature are scarce. We present in situ…
Spatial distribution of low-energy plasma around comet 67P/CG from Rosetta measurements
N. J. T. Edberg, A. I. Eriksson, E. Odelstad +22
We use measurements from the Rosetta plasma consortium (RPC) Langmuir probe (LAP) and mutual impedance probe (MIP) to study the spatial distribution of low-energy plasma in the nea…
Observation of a New Type of Low Frequency Waves at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
I. Richter, C. Koenders, H. -U. Auster +23
We report on magnetic field measurements made in the innermost coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in its low activity state. Quasi-coherent, large-amplitude (), compres…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
Fast E-sail Uranus entry probe mission
Pekka Janhunen, Jean-Pierre Lebreton, Sini Merikallio +3
The electric solar wind sail is a novel propellantless space propulsion concept. According to numerical estimates, the electric solar wind sail can produce a large total impulse pe…
Modeling the HD32297 Debris Disk with Far-IR Herschel Data
J. K. Donaldson, J. Lebreton, A. Roberge +2
HD32297 is a young A-star (~30 Myr) 112 pc away with a bright edge-on debris disk that has been resolved in scattered light. We observed the HD32297 debris disk in the far-infrared…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
Hot circumstellar material resolved around beta Pic with VLTI/PIONIER
D. Defrère, J. Lebreton, J. -B. Le Bouquin +11
We aim at resolving the circumstellar environment around beta Pic in the near-infrared in order to study the inner planetary system (< 200 mas, i.e., ~4 AU). Precise interferometri…
Hot exozodiacal dust resolved around Vega with IOTA/IONIC
D. Defrère, O. Absil, J. -C. Augereau +10
Although debris discs have been detected around a significant number of main-sequence stars, only a few of them are known to harbour hot dust in their inner part where terrestrial…
