  1. 1. Electrostatic plasma waves associated with collisionless magnetic reconnection : Spacecraft observations

    Författare :Konrad Steinvall; Yuri Khotyaintsev; Daniel Graham; Andris Vaivads; Jonathan Rae; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic reconnection; Plasma waves; Electron holes; Solar wind; Magnetosphere; Magnetospheric Multiscale; Solar Orbiter; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process where changes in magnetic field topology result in explosive energy conversion, plasma mixing, heating, and energization. In geospace, magnetic reconnection couples the Earth’s magnetosphere to the solar wind plasma, enabling plasma transport across the magnetopause. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Magnetic Reconnection in Space Plasmas : Cluster Spacecraft Observations

    Författare :Alessandro Retinò; Mats André; Andris Vaivads; Bengt U. Ö. Sonnerup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Space and plasma physics; space physics; plasma astrophysics; plasma physics; transport processes; boundary layers; magnetic reconnection; turbulence; particle acceleration; solar system; magnetospheres; Rymd- och plasmafysik;

    Sammanfattning : Magnetic reconnection is a universal process occurring at boundaries between magnetized plasmas, where changes in the topology of the magnetic field lead to the transport of charged particles across the boundaries and to the conversion of electromagnetic energy into kinetic and thermal energy of the particles. Reconnection occurs in laboratory plasmas, in solar system plasmas and it is considered to play a key role in many other space environments such as magnetized stars and accretion disks around stars and planets under formation.

  3. 3. Guidance and Control for Multiple Spacecraft Formation

    Författare :Sumeet Gajanan Satpute; George Nikolakopoulos; Per Bodin; Kazuya Yoshida; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Spacecraft Formation; Concurrent maneuver planning; Co-location; Geostationary satellite; Asteroid visual coverage; Trajectory planning; Traveling salesman problem; Onboard space systems; Rymdtekniska system;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple spacecraft formation forms a distributed space system where multiple spacecraft cooperatively exhibit the functionality of a single monolithic spacecraft or work in a cooperative way towards the completion of a common goal. This possibility of distributing the workload between different spacecraft provides the ability to work in parallel, enable economic and simple solutions in terms of spacecraft design, while is redundant towards partial or complete failure of a spacecraft.

  4. 4. The effect of spacecraft charging on low-energy ion measurements around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

    Författare :Sofia Bergman; Gabriella Stenberg Wieser; Martin Wieser; Gert Brodin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spacecraft charging; low-energy ions; space physics; plasma physics; comet; Rosetta; SPIS; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics;

    Sammanfattning : A spacecraft in space interacts with the surrounding environment and aqcuires an electrostatic potential. Charged particles are constantly bombarding the surface of the spacecraft, and at the same time solar EUV radiation induces photoemission, causing electrons to be emitted from the surface. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Rosetta spacecraft potential and activity evolution of comet 67P

    Författare :Elias Odelstad; Anders Eriksson; Arne Pedersen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Rosetta; comet; 67P; RPC-LAP; RPC-MIP; Langmuir probe; spacecraft potential; plasma; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The plasma environment of an active comet provides a unique setting for plasma physics research. The complex interaction of newly created cometary ions with the flowing plasma of the solar wind gives rise to a plethora of plasma physics phenomena, that can be studied over a large range of activity levels as the distance to the sun, and hence the influx of solar energy, varies.
