An in situ comparison of electron acceleration at collisionless shocks under differing upstream magnetic field orientations
A. Masters, A. H. Sulaiman, Ł. Stawarz +6
A leading explanation for the origin of Galactic cosmic rays is acceleration at high-Mach number shock waves in the collisionless plasma surrounding young supernova remnants. Evide…
Whistler mode waves upstream of Saturn
Ali H Sulaiman, Donald A Gurnett, Jasper S Halekas +3
Whistler-mode waves are generated within and can propagate upstream of collisionless shocks. They are known to play a role in electron thermodynamics/acceleration and, under certai…
Corotating Magnetic Reconnection Site in Saturn's Magnetosphere
Zhonghua Yao, A. J. Coates, L. C. Ray +12
Using measurements from the Cassini spacecraft in Saturn's magnetosphere, we propose a 3D physical picture of a corotating reconnection site, which can only be driven by an interna…
Suprathermal electrons at Saturn's bow shock
A. Masters, A. H. Sulaiman, N. Sergis +4
The leading explanation for the origin of galactic cosmic rays is particle acceleration at the shocks surrounding young supernova remnants (SNRs), although crucial aspects of the a…
Cassini observations of Saturn's southern polar cusp
C. S. Arridge, J. M. Jasinski, N. Achilleos +15
The magnetospheric cusps are important sites of the coupling of a magnetosphere with the solar wind. The combination of both ground- and space-based observations at Earth have enab…
Cassini in situ observations of long-duration magnetic reconnection in Saturn's magnetotail
Christopher S. Arridge, Jonathan P. Eastwood, Caitriona M. Jackman +15
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in solar system and astrophysical plasmas, through which stored magnetic energy associated with current sheets is converted into ther…
Titan interaction with the supersonic solar wind
C. Bertucci, D. C. Hamilton, W. S. Kurth +5
After 9 years in the Saturn system, the Cassini spacecraft finally observed Titan in the supersonic solar wind. These unique observations reveal that Titan interaction with the sol…
Polar Confinement of Saturn's Magnetosphere Revealed by in-situ Cassini Observations
Nathan M. Pilkington, Nicholas Achilleos, Christopher S. Arridge +4
Plasma rotation plays a large role in determining the size and shape of Saturn's disc-like magnetosphere. A magnetosphere more confined to the equator in the polar regions is expec…
Electron acceleration to relativistic energies at a strong quasi-parallel shock wave
A. Masters, L. Stawarz, M. Fujimoto +9
Electrons can be accelerated to ultrarelativistic energies at strong (high-Mach number) collisionless shock waves that form when stellar debris rapidly expands after a supernova. C…
