1. A quantitative analysis of plume gas distributions from different detection studies on Europa
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)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

2. 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

3. 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, UppsalaavdelningenAbstract : 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

4. Determination of Ion Number Density from Langmuir Probe Measurements in the Ionosphere of Titan
University essay from Institutionen för teknikvetenskaperAbstract : 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
