In situ evidence for the structure of the magnetic null in a 3D reconnection event in the Earth's magnetotail [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection is one of the most important processes in astrophysical, space and laboratory plasmas. Identifying the structure around the point at which the magnetic field lines break and subsequently reform, known as the magnetic null point, is ...

Single-event upsets in the Cluster and Double Star Digital Wave Processor instruments [PDF]
Radiation-induced upsets are an important issue for electronic circuits operating in space. Upsets due to solar protons, trapped protons, and galactic cosmic rays are frequently observed.

ION INJECTION AT QUASI-PARALLEL SHOCKS SEEN BY THE CLUSTER SPACECRAFT
ABSTRACT Collisionless shocks in space plasma are known to be capable of accelerating ions to very high energies through diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). This process requires an injection of suprathermal ions, but the mechanisms producing such a suprathermal ion seed population are still not fully understood. We study acceleration of

Spacecraft potential control for Double Star [PDF]
The spacecraft potential of Double Star TC-1 is positive in large parts of the orbits due to the photo-effect from solar EUV irradiation. These positive potentials typically disturb low energy plasma measurements on board. The potential can be reduced,
