A global model of cometary tail disconnection events triggered by solar wind magnetic variations
[1] Presented in this paper are the results of a time-dependent, fully three-dimensional self-consistent ideal magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) model of disconnection events (DEs) in the cometary plasma tail. Understanding the interaction of cometary plasma with the solar wind is a very important problem in space plasma physics. This study focuses on the detailed MHD processes which occur during DEs...
متن کاملIn situ observations of a solar wind compression-induced hot plasma injection in Saturn’s tail
[1] During the Saturn orbit insertion (SOI) fly-through of the Cassini spacecraft, Saturn’s magnetosphere underwent a significant corotating interaction region (CIR) related compression. Such compressions have recently been suggested to produce rapid bursts of tail reconnection, enhanced Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR), and consequent auroral dynamics. On the outbound pass the spacecraft beca...
متن کاملWIND observations of coherent electrostatic waves in the solar wind
The time domain sampler (TDS) experiment on WIND measures electric and magnetic wave forms with a sampling rate which reaches 120 000 points per second. We analyse here observations made in the solar wind near the Lagrange point L1. In the range of frequencies above the proton plasma frequency fpi and smaller than or of the order of the electron plasma frequency fpe, TDS observed three kinds of...
متن کاملEISCAT measurements of the solar wind
EISCAT observations of interplanetary scintillation have been used to measure the velocity of the solar wind at distances between 15 and 130 Rx (solar radii) from the Sun. The results show that the solar wind consists of two distinct components, a fast stream with a velocity of &800 km s~1 and a slow stream at &400 km s~1. The fast stream appears to reach its final velocity much closer to the S...
متن کامل2 Biermann’s Theory of the Interaction of the Solar Wind with the Ionized Cometary Tails
Space techniques using sounding rockets, satellites and space probes made it possible to send instruments into space not only to measure the physical parameters of the surrounding atmosphere but also to carry out experiments in order to learn about matter and fields in space. When injecting barium clouds into space, both measurement and experimentation occurs. The barium can be used to trace th...
