  1. 1. Comprehensive Venus boundaries model : Empirical dependency of boundaries on the upstream conditions

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

    Author : Umberto Rollero; [2023]
    Keywords : Bow shock; Ion Composition Boundary; Venus; Upstream conditions; Solar wind.; Bow shock; Bogshock; Ion Composition Boundary; Venus; Uppströmsförhållanden; Solvind.;

    Abstract : Since Venus is an unmagnetized planet, it doesn’t interact with the solar wind in the same way as planets with an intrinsic magnetic field do. Due to its conductive ionosphere, however, it still possesses an induced magnetosphere. READ MORE

    Keywords : Space; Jupiter; Bow Shock; Magnetopause; Juno; Plasma; Modelling;

    Abstract : When the solar wind encounters a planet’s magnetic field, they interact and the different plasma and magnetic field behaviours divides the magnetosphere into different regions. Two important region boundaries to the outer magnetosphere, called the magnetosheath, are the bow shock and magnetopause. READ MORE
