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

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Deriving Spectral Maps from JWST Data : A Study of Enceladus’ Plumes

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Stephan Weissenböck; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Data Analysis; Enceladus; Plumes; Atmosphere; JWST; NIRSpec; IFU; Infrared spectroscopy; Dataanalys; Enceladus; plym; atmosfär; JWST; NIRSpec; IFU; infraröd spektroskopi;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates the presence of water vapor plumes in the region south of Enceladus, a moon in the Saturnian system, through observations conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope. Enceladus is believed to harbor a subsurface ocean or localized water reservoir that gives rise to water geysers, expelling vapor into its tenuous atmosphere and outer space. LÄS MER

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

    L3-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Författare :Apostolos Kolokotronis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : 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). LÄS MER

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

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Searching for Titan's tail

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Författare :Joakim Kvarnström; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Titan; Ionosphere;

    Sammanfattning : We have used Cassini measurements of electron density from Saturn's magnetosphere to search for a plasma tail behind the moon Titan. Such a plasma tail would consist of plasma that manage to escape Titan's gravitational pull and leave Titan's ionosphere to contribute to the plasma distribution in the Saturn system. LÄS MER
