3. 2. Effect of the convective electric field on the ion number density around a low activity comet

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

   Author : Simon Alinder; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Vigren et al. (2015) presents an integral expression to calculate the ion number density around a low activity comet immersed in the solar wind's convective electric field. A certain parameter of the integral takes values of either 1 or 0 depending on whether a corresponding ion trajectory is feasible or not. READ MORE
