Cluster observations of the midaltitude cusp under strong northward interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]
We report on a multispacecraft cusp observation lasting more than 100 min. We determine the cusp boundary motion and reveal the effect on the cusp size of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) changing from southward to northward.

Analysis of three-spacecraft data using planar reciprocal vectors: methodological framework and spatial gradient estimation [PDF]
In the context of ESA's Cluster mission, four-point array techniques are widely used to analyze space plasma phenomena such as shocks and discontinuities, waves and turbulence, and spatial gradients.

On the estimation of the current density in space plasmas: multi versus single-point techniques [PDF]
Thanks to multi-spacecraft mission, it has recently been possible to directly estimate the current density in space plasmas, by using magnetic field time series from four satellites flying in a quasi perfect tetrahedron configuration. The technique developed, commonly called 'curlometer' permits a good estimation of the current density when the ...

Temporal and spatial evolution of discrete auroral arcs as seen by Cluster [PDF]
Two event studies are presented in this paper where intense convergent electric fields, with mapped intensities up to 1350 mV/m, are measured in the auroral upward current region by the Cluster spacecraft, at altitudes between 3 and 5 Earth radii ...

Can Planet Nine Be Detected Gravitationally by a Sub-Relativistic Spacecraft? [PDF]
Planet 9 was proposed as an explanation for the clustering of orbits for some trans-Neuptunian objects. Recently, the use of a sub-relativistic spacecraft was proposed to indirectly probe Planet 9's gravitational influence. Here we study the effects of the drag and electromagnetic forces exerted on a sub-relativistic spacecraft by the interstellar ...

[1] A sunlit conductive spacecraft, immersed in tenuous plasma, will attain a positive potential relative to the ambient plasma. This potential is primarily governed by solar irradiation, which causes escape of photoelectrons from the surface of the ...
