  1. 1. A quantitative analysis of plume gas distributions from different detection studies on Europa

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Anujan Ranganathan; [2023]
    Keywords : Europa; Water; Plume distribution; Surface Density; Column Density; Total number of molecules; Europa; Vatten; Plym Distribution; Ytdensitet; Kolumndensitet; Total mängd molekyler;

    Abstract : The search for water has been vital in our solar system as water indicates a potential for life. The search has been extended to satellites orbiting the outer planets. It has already been proven that water exists on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, where the spacecraft Cassini did a flyby through a water plume. READ MORE

  3. 2. Motion of icy grains originating in Saturn’s D-ring

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Apostolos Kolokotronis; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Saturn's rings have long been thought to provide the planetary atmosphere with infalling material, affecting both its chemical composition and physical properties (e.g. temperature). READ MORE

  4. 3. Plasma density characteristics of magnetic holes near the Kronian magnetosphere boundary surfaces

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Marlon Luis Bause; [2020]
    Keywords : Magnetic holes; Saturn; Langmuir Probe; plasma electron density; Magnetosphere;

    Abstract : Localized structures of the magnetic field strength depression are often observed in the interplanetarymedium, and they are called ‘magnetic holes’ after the original work of Turner et al. 1977. A numberof observations of similar features have been reported, while the mechanisms of their origin have notfully understood yet. READ MORE

  5. 4. Capture of interstellar objects in the Solar system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jonathan Petersson; [2020]
    Keywords : interstellar objects; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Research on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. READ MORE

  6. 5. Searching for Titan's tail

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Joakim Kvarnström; [2018]
    Keywords : Titan; Ionosphere;

    Abstract : We have used Cassini measurements of electron density from Saturn's magnetosphere to search for a plasma tail behind the moon Titan. Such a plasma tail would consist of plasma that manage to escape Titan's gravitational pull and leave Titan's ionosphere to contribute to the plasma distribution in the Saturn system. READ MORE
