2. Estimating Charging on a Sounding Rocket Experiment Using Plasma Simulation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The aim of this project is to model current volt-age characteristic curves for different plasma conditions (i.eelectron density, electron temperature, ion temperature andplasma potential) that can be found in active auroras. This isdone by simulating the charging of a FFU with a connectedLangmuir probe in the software SPIS. READ MORE

3. Plasma density characteristics of magnetic holes near the Kronian magnetosphere boundary surfaces
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : 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

4. Searching for Titan's tail
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, UppsalaavdelningenAbstract : 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

5. Electron cooling in a cometary coma
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : The ESA Rosetta spacecraft investigated comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko duringtwo years from August 2014 to the end of September 2016. The dual Langmuir probewas used to measure plasma parameters including the thermal energy of theelectrons. READ MORE
