  1. 21. O+ outflow during geomagnetic storms observed by Cluster satellites

    Författare :Audrey Schillings; Hans Nilsson; Stephan Buchert; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atmosfärsvetenskap; Atmospheric Science;

    Sammanfattning : The region of space dominated by the Sun's magnetic field is called the heliosphere. It envelops the entire solar system including Earth. Therefore, a strong coupling exists between the Sun and our planet. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Ion dynamics and structure of collisionless shocks

    Författare :Andreas Johlander; Andris Vaivads; Rami Vainio; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Shock waves are responsible for slowing down and heating supersonic flows. In collisionless space plasmas, shocks are able to accelerate particles to very high energies. We study injection of suprathermal ions at Earth’s quasi- parallel shock using high time resolution data from the Cluster spacecraft. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Structures and Processes at the Mercury Magnetopause

    Författare :Elisabet Liljeblad; Tomas Karlsson; Ferdinand Plaschke; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The mechanism involved in the transfer of energy, momentum and plasma from the solar wind to any planetary magnetosphere is considered one of the more important topics in space plasma physics. With the use of the Mercury spacecraft MESSENGER’s (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) data, it has been possible to study these processes in an environment different, yet similar, to Earth’s.

  5. 24. How does O+ outflow vary with solar wind conditions?

    Författare :Audrey Schillings; Hans Nilsson; Rikard Slapak; Lars-Göran Westerberg; Christopher Cully; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atmosfärsvetenskap; Atmospheric science;

    Sammanfattning : The entire solar system including Earth is enveloped in a region of space where the Sun’s magnetic field dominates, this region is called the heliosphere. Due to this position in the heliosphere, a strong coupling exists between the Sun and our planet. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Plasma and dust interaction in the magnetosphere of Saturn

    Författare :Jonas Olson; Svetlana Ratynskaia; Carmine Castaldo; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; saturn; dusty plasma;

    Sammanfattning : The Cassini spacecraft orbits Saturn since 2004, carrying a multitude of instruments for studies of the plasma environment around the planet as well as the constituents of the ring system. Of particular interest to the present thesis is the large E ring, which consists mainly of water ice grains, smaller than a few micrometres, referred to as dust. LÄS MER
