  1. 1. Ion and ENA precipitation onto the upper atmosphere of Venus : Estimate of precipitation maps using data from a hybrid model

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

    Författare :Lorenzo Obersnel; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Eneregetic Neutral Atoms; Venus; Ion precipitation; ENA precipitation; Atomi Neutri Energetici; Venere; precipitazione di ioni; precipitazione di atomi neutri; Energisk Neutral Atom; Venus; Utfällningen joner; Utfällningen Energisk Neutral Atom;

    Sammanfattning : Venus does not have a strong intrinsic magnetic field as the Earth, and its magnetosphere is induced by the interaction of the solar wind with the ionosphere. The near-Venus space environment is characterized by the presence of a bow shock and of an induced magnetic boundary linked to the interplanetary magnetic field orientation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Possible Bow Shock Current Closure to Earth's High Latitude Ionosphere on Open Field Lines

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Författare :Gabriella Nordin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Space Physics; Bow Shock Current; Field-Aligned Currents; Open Field Lines;

    Sammanfattning : The bow shock is formed due to the abrupt deceleration of the supersonic solar wind in front of the terrestrial magnetic field. The solar wind plasma and the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) are both compressed across the shock, and according to Ampère's law a current thus flows on the bow shock at all times. LÄS MER

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

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

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The connection between the bow shock at Mercury and the interplanetary magnetic field

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

    Författare :Erik Sellberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Mercury bow shock; Bow shock - interplanetary magnetic field interaction; MESSENGER; Merkurius bogchock; Växelverkan bogchock interplanetära magnetfältet; MESSENGER;

    Sammanfattning : As the solar wind reaches Mercury it interacts with the planet’s magnetic field slowing down, forming a bow shock in front of the planet and diverting the flow around it. Along with the solar wind comes the interplanetary magnetic field, an extension of the sun’s magnetic field. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Moon plasma environment and its implications for lunar space missions

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Mirko Viviano; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates the lunar plasma environment and its implications for the safety and success of future crewed missions to the Moon. The Moon’splasma environment, formed by the solar wind, galactic cosmic rays and solar flare particles, presents potential hazards to human life and property. LÄS MER
