  2. 1. Low-energy ions around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

    Author : Sofia Bergman; Gabriella Stenberg Wieser; Martin Wieser; Gert Brodin; Stein Håland; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Low-energy ions; spacecraft charging; comets; 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko; Rosetta; RPC-ICA; SPIS; diamagnetic cavity; field of view; plasma; space plasma physics; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : Low-energy ions play important roles in the formation of the plasma environment around a comet. Reliable ways of measuring these ions are therefore of high importance to fully understand the processes and dynamics of this environment. Unfortunately, low-energy ions are infamously difficult to detect. READ MORE

  4. 2. The effect of spacecraft charging on low-energy ion measurements around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

    Author : Sofia Bergman; Gabriella Stenberg Wieser; Martin Wieser; Gert Brodin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spacecraft charging; low-energy ions; space physics; plasma physics; comet; Rosetta; SPIS; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : A spacecraft in space interacts with the surrounding environment and aqcuires an electrostatic potential. Charged particles are constantly bombarding the surface of the spacecraft, and at the same time solar EUV radiation induces photoemission, causing electrons to be emitted from the surface. READ MORE

  5. 3. Plasma Interactions with Icy Bodies in the Solar System

    Author : Jesper Lindkvist; Mats Holmström; Martin Wieser; Elias Roussos; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasma interactions; icy bodies; solar system; space physics; plasma physics; hybrid model; numerical model; solar wind; magnetosphere; sub-Alfvénic; subsonic; non-collisional; atmosphereless; exosphere; coma; subsurface ocean; induction; magnetic dipole; pick-up ion; mass-loading; moon; natural satellite; dwarf planet; comet; Jupiter; Jovian; Callisto; Ceres; 67P; Churyumov-Gerasimenko; rymd- och plasmafysik; Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : Here I study the “plasma interactions with icy bodies in the solar system”, that is, my quest to understand the fundamental processes that govern such interactions. By using numerical modelling combined with in situ observations, one can infer the internal structure of icy bodies and their plasma environments. READ MORE

  6. 4. Advanced Plasma Analyzer for Measurements in the Magnetosphere of Jupiter

    Author : Joan Stude; Stas Barabash; Martin Wieser; Joseph H. Westlake; Umeå universitet; []
