  1. 6. Mean Motion Resonances and Planetary Scattering

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Erik Dahlöf; [2018]
    Keywords : mean motion resonance; orbit resonance; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planetary scattering; eccentricity; inclination; planet systems; disturbing force; orbit dynamics; orbital elements; planets; exoplanets; scattering phase; relaxation; dynamical instabilities; N-body; protoplanetary disk; planet migration; eccentricity damping; inclination damping; planet-disk interactions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The observed distribution of giant exoplanet eccentricities and inclinations are significantly larger than what is measured for their Solar system analogues, Jupiter and Saturn. Since the first observations of exoplanets, planet-planet scattering has been proposed as a possible mechanism for exciting the eccentricities and inclinations of giant exoplanets. READ MORE

  3. 7. Isolated magnetic field structures in the Saturn magnetosphere

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Fredrik Stetler; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report’s primary focus is to use the data gathered by the Cassini satellite and analyzeits magnetic field data around Saturn. By looking for isolated changes in magneticfield values locations of potential plasmoids can be determined and examined. READ MORE

  4. 8. Investigation of the electron density close to the rings of Saturn and Prediction of the F-ring plasma characteristics

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

    Author : George Xystouris; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Saturn has the second strongest magnetic field among the planets of the solar system, creating the second biggest magnetosphere, after Jupiter. The magnetosphere is similar to Earth's, as both of them are created by a dipole magnetic field, produced by a planetary dynamo. Despite the similarities, they have some major differences. READ MORE

  5. 9. Following the central region of the Saturnian nightside plasma sheet

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Dimitrios Tsimpidas; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : We use magnetic field data from Cassini’s on board magnetometer (MAG), plasma measurements by Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) and electron density measurements from the RPWS Langmuir probe (LP) on board Cassini, for an extended set of orbits from 2004 to 2010 and for distances up to 30 Rs from the planet. The central region of the nightside plasma sheet is identified using the radial component of the magnetic field Br, in contrary to solely geometrical criteria used in previous studies, such as the vertical distance z from the equatorial plane.

  6. 10. Determination of Ion Number Density from Langmuir Probe Measurements in the Ionosphere of Titan

    University essay from Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Author : Oleg Shebanits; [2010]
    Keywords : ion number distribution; titan; ionosphere; langmuir;

    Abstract : Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, presents a very interesting subject for study because of its atmosphere’s complex organic chemistry. Processes taking place there might shed some light on the origins of organic compounds on Earth in its early days. READ MORE
