A Potential Aid in the Target Selection for the Comet Interceptor Mission
Erik Vigren, Anders I. Eriksson, Niklas J. T. Edberg +1
The upcoming Comet Interceptor mission involves a parking phase around the Sun-Earth L2 point before transferring to intercept the orbit of a long period comet, interstellar object…
Implications from secondary emission from neutral impact on Cassini plasma and dust measurements
Fredrik Leffe Johansson, Erik Vigren, Jack Hunter Waite +4
We investigate the role of secondary electron and ion emission from impact of gas molecules on the Cassini Langmuir Probe (RPWS-LP, or LP) measurements in the ionosphere of Saturn.…
Plasma densities, flow and Solar EUV flux at comet 67P - A cross-calibration approach
F. L. Johansson, A. I. Eriksson, E. Vigren +7
During its two-year mission at comet 67P, Rosetta nearly continuously monitored the inner coma plasma environment for gas production rates varying over three orders of magnitude, a…
Electron Dynamics near Diamagnetic Regions of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
H. Madanian, J. L. Burch, A. I. Eriksson +8
The Rosetta spacecraft detected transient and sporadic diamagnetic regions around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In this paper we present a statistical analysis of bulk and supra…
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…
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…
