Plasma line detected by Voyager 1 in the interstellar medium: Tips and traps for quasi-thermal noise spectroscopy

N. Meyer-Vernet, A. Lecacheux, M. Moncuquet +2

The quasi-thermal motion of plasma particles produces electrostatic fluctuations, whose voltage power spectrum induced on electric antennas reveals plasma properties. In weakly mag…

Slow modes in the Hermean magnetosphere: effect of the solar wind hydrodynamic parameters and IMF orientation

J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet

The aim of this study is to simulate the slow mode structures in the Hermean magnetosphere. We use a single fluid MHD model and a multipolar expansion of the Northward displaced He…

The effect of interplanetary magnetic field orientation on the solar wind flux impacting Mercury's surface

J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet

The aim of this paper is to study the plasma flows on the Mercury surface for different interplanetary magnetic field orientations on the day side of the planet. We use a single fl…

Effect of the interplanetary magnetic field orientation and intensity in the mass and energy deposition on the Hermean surface

J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet

The aim of the present study is to simulate the interaction between the solar wind and the Hermean magnetosphere. We use the MHD code PLUTO in spherical coordinates with an axisymm…
