Impact Ionization Double Peaks Analyzed In High Temporal Resolution On Solar Orbiter

Meyer-Vernet, Nicole; Mann, Ingrid; Vaverka, Jakub +6 more

Solar Orbiter is equipped with electrical antennas performing fast measurements of the surrounding electric field. The antennas register high-velocity dust impacts through the electrical signatures of impact ionization. Although the basic principle of the detection has been known for decades, the understanding of the underlying process is not comp…
