  1. 1. A quantitative analysis of plume gas distributions from different detection studies on Europa

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

    Author : Anujan Ranganathan; [2023]
    Keywords : Europa; Water; Plume distribution; Surface Density; Column Density; Total number of molecules; Europa; Vatten; Plym Distribution; Ytdensitet; Kolumndensitet; Total mängd molekyler;

    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

  3. 2. Motion of icy grains originating in Saturn’s D-ring

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

    Author : Apostolos Kolokotronis; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Saturn's rings have long been thought to provide the planetary atmosphere with infalling material, affecting both its chemical composition and physical properties (e.g. temperature). READ MORE

  4. 3. Ultra Low Frequency Electromagnetic Waves at the Saturn Bow Shock

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

    Author : Axel Lindberg; Johan Höglund; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project aims to research the characteristics and prevalence of ultra low frequency(ULF) waves at the Saturn bow shock with the help of data collected by the space probe CASSINIwhich was in orbit around the planet from 2004 and 2017. ULF waves have been extensively studiedat Earth but not at Saturn, and by studying this phenomenon at Saturn we may gain a deeperunderstanding of it. READ MORE

  5. 4. Forming wide-orbit planets via pebble accretion

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

    Author : Nerea Gurrutxaga; [2023]
    Keywords : Planet Formation; Pebble Accretion; Protoplanetary Disk; Wide-Orbit Planet; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The possibility that detected substructures in protoplanetary disks, such as gaps, rings and cavities, are created by distant protoplanets has prompted an inquiry into the mechanism responsible for their formation. These wide-orbit young bodies are likely to form relatively rapidly in the outer regions of circumstellar disks. READ MORE

  6. 5. Plasma density characteristics of magnetic holes near the Kronian magnetosphere boundary surfaces

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Marlon Luis Bause; [2020]
    Keywords : Magnetic holes; Saturn; Langmuir Probe; plasma electron density; Magnetosphere;

    Abstract : 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
