In situ multi-spacecraft and remote imaging observations of the first CME detected by Solar Orbiter and BepiColombo
Möstl, C.; Harrison, R. A.; Davies, J. A. +20 more
Context. On 2020 April 19 a coronal mass ejection (CME) was detected in situ by Solar Orbiter at a heliocentric distance of about 0.8 AU. The CME was later observed in situ on April 20 by the Wind and BepiColombo spacecraft whilst BepiColombo was located very close to Earth. This CME presents a good opportunity for a triple radial alignment study,…
Multi-point analysis of coronal mass ejection flux ropes using combined data from Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, and Wind
Möstl, C.; Horbury, T. S.; Baumjohann, W. +15 more
Context. The recent launch of Solar Orbiter and the flyby of BepiColombo opened a brief window during which these two spacecraft, along with the existing spacecraft at L1, were positioned in a constellation that allowed for the detailed sampling of any Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME). Fortunately, two such events occurred during this ti…
Solar Orbiter's first Venus flyby. MAG observations of structures and waves associated with the induced Venusian magnetosphere
Maksimovic, M.; Bale, S. D.; Horbury, T. S. +18 more
Context. The induced magnetosphere of Venus is caused by the interaction of the solar wind and embedded interplanetary magnetic field with the exosphere and ionosphere of Venus. Solar Orbiter entered Venus's magnetotail far downstream, > 70 Venus radii, of the planet and exited the magnetosphere over the north pole. This offered a unique view o…
