Spacecraft Charging Simulations of Probe B1 of Comet Interceptor during the Cometary Flyby
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Comet Interceptor will be the first mission to make a flyby of a long-period or interstellar comet. After launch, the spacecraft will wait at the Sun–Earth Lagrange point L2 for a yet-to-be-discovered comet to appear.

Turbulent heating in space plasmas: theory and observations
, 2021 Matthaeus, William H.A turbulent system transfers energy from large scales to progressively smaller scales until it is ultimately dissipated as heat. At intermediate lengthscales, this energy transfer mostly occurs from larger scales to smaller scales ...

Variation of Floating Potential in the Topside Ionosphere Observed by STSAT-1 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2014 In this study, we investigated the effect of space plasmas on the floating potential variation of a low-altitude, polar-orbiting satellite using the Langmuir Probe (LP) measurement onboard the STSAT-1 spacecraft.

A Study on Second Harmonic Excitation in Electron Beam–Plasma Instability
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The electron beam–plasma interaction is a fundamental nonlinear plasma process that is frequently taking place in space and laboratory plasmas. Such an interaction is found to generate electromagnetic waves observed in space plasmas.

In-situ observations of flux ropes formed in association with a pair of spiral nulls in magnetotail plasmas [PDF]
, 2016 Signatures of secondary islands are frequently observed in the magnetic reconnection regions of magnetotail plasmas. In this paper, magnetic structures with the secondary-island signatures observed by Cluster are reassembled by a fitting-reconstruction ...

The Impact of Turbulence on the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 An important property associated with turbulence in plasmas and fluids is anomalous transport. Plasma, being a good conductor, can in addition be affected by turbulence causing an anomalous resistivity that can significantly exceed its classical ...
