  1. 1. Juice/JDC ion measurement perturbations caused by spacecraft charging in the solar wind and Earth’s magnetosheath

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Derek van Winden; [2024]
    Keywords : Juice; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer; JDC; Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer; Particle Environment Package; PEP; Jupiter; Ganymede; Callisto; Europa; solar wind; magnetosheath; spacecraft charging; Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software; SPIS; charging; plasma; measurement perturbations; perturbation; distortion; particle detector; Institutet för Rymdfysik; IRF; Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies; DIAS; European Space Agency; ESA;

    Abstract :  In July 2031, a new chapter in the exploration of the Jovian system will begin with the arrival of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) at Jupiter. Launched on April 14 2024 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme, the mission aims to study Jupiter and its icy Galilean moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. READ MORE

  3. 2. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Lucian Spitzner; [2023]
    Keywords : astronomy; astrophyics; exoplanets; transmission spectroscopy; magnetic fields; atmospheres; ions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of inductive electric fields in Earth’s magnetotail using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) multipoint measurements

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

    Author : Marco Guerra; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mutual interaction between the solar wind and the geomagnetic field generates the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is characterized by many large-scale perturbations, such as substorms, which are responsible for variations in the magnetic field. READ MORE

  5. 4. Visualising earth's magnetosphere interacting with the solar wind using numerical methods and semi-transparent surfaces

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Rickard Elfström; [2022]
    Keywords : Data visualization; Visualization; OpenSpace; numerical methods; Space; Earth s magnetosphere; Solar wind;

    Abstract : Data visualization is a field dedicated to effectively showing large amounts of collected data. A field where data visualization has shown promising results in its ways to effectively answer questions is the fundamental research of the universe. READ MORE

  6. 5. IMF By influence on plasma ion convection in the mid-tail in Earth’s magnetosphere

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Simon Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The results of past studies indicate that there is an influence of the presence of a nonzero dusk-dawn i.e. y component of the interplanetary magnetic field(IMF By) on the near-Earth magnetotail. Specifically, on the dusk-dawn component (By) of the magnetic field and plasma ion convection, resulting in interhemispheric asymmetries. READ MORE
