Interaction between the turbulent solar wind and a planetary magnetosphere: a 2D comet example
Behar Etienne, Henri Pierre
Using the newly developed code \emph{Menura}, we present the first global picture of the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and a planetary obstacle in our solar system, na…
Menura: a code for simulating the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and solar system bodies
Etienne Behar, Shahab Fatemi, Pierre Henri +1
Despite the close relationship between planetary science and plasma physics, few advanced numerical tools allow to bridge the two topics. The code Menura proposes a breakthrough to…
Solar wind dynamics around a comet: The paradigmatic inverse-square-law model
Melaine Saillenfest, Benoît Tabone, Etienne Behar
Aims. Observations of solar protons near comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) by the Rosetta spacecraft can be modelled by the planar motion in an effective magnetic field proport…
The birth and growth of a solar wind cavity around a comet -- Rosetta observations
E. Behar, H. Nilsson, M. Alho +2
The Rosetta mission provided detailed observations of the growth of a cavity in the solar wind around comet 67P/CG. As the comet approached the Sun, the plasma of cometary origin g…
Mass-loading of the solar wind at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko -- Observations and modelling
E. Behar, J. Lindkvist, H. Nilsson +4
Context. The first long-term in-situ observation of the plasma environment in the vicinity of a comet, as provided by the European Rosetta spacecraft. Aims. Here we offer character…
Mass loading at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko: a case study
E. Behar, H. Nilsson, G. Stenberg Wieser +3
We study the dynamics of the interaction between the solar wind ions and a partially ionized atmosphere around a comet, at a distance of 2.88 AU from the sun during a period of low…
