Principles Of Heliophysics: a textbook on the universal processes behind planetary habitability
Karel Schrijver, Fran Bagenal, Tim Bastian +59
Heliophysics is the system science of the physical connections between the Sun and the solar system. As the physics of the local cosmos, it embraces space weather and planetary hab…
The evolution of the electron number density in the coma of comet 67P at the location of Rosetta from 2015 November through 2016 March
Erik Vigren, Niklas J. T. Edberg, Anders I. Eriksson +6
A comet ionospheric model assuming the plasma to move radially outward with the same bulk speed as the neutral gas and not being subject to severe reduction through dissociative re…
Science goals and mission concepts for a future orbital and in situ exploration of Titan
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +27
In this white paper, we present a cross-section of important scientific questions that remain partially or completely unanswered, ranging from Titan exosphere to the deep interior,…
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…
AMBITION -- Comet Nucleus Cryogenic Sample Return (White paper for ESA's Voyage 2050 programme)
D. Bockelée-Morvan, G. Filacchione, K. Altwegg +27
This white paper proposes that AMBITION, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission, be a cornerstone of ESA's Voyage 2050 programme. We summarise some of the most important questions s…
Modelling H in planetary atmospheres: effects of vertical gradients on observed quantities
L. Moore, H. Melin, J. O'Donoghue +5
Since its discovery in the aurorae of Jupiter ~30 years ago, the H ion has served as an invaluable probe of giant planet upper atmospheres. However, the vast majority of…
Solar wind charge exchange in cometary atmospheres III. Results from the Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Cyril Simon Wedlund, Etienne Behar, Hans Nilsson +12
Solar wind charge-changing reactions are of paramount importance to the physico-chemistry of the atmosphere of a comet. The ESA/Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (…
