ENA periodicities and their phase relations to SKR emissions at Saturn
Gurnett, D. A.; Krimigis, S. M.; Mitchell, D. G. +2 more
Cassini orbits during days 200-366 in 2004 afforded the opportunity to continuously observe energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions from long range (>50 RS, 1 RS = 60268 km) on Saturn's dawn side. Images of energetic neutral hydrogen (25-55 keV) and oxygen (90-160 keV) were projected onto the noon-midnight plane, corrected …
Cassini magnetometer observations over the Enceladus poles
Persoon, A. M.; Russell, C. T.; Wei, H. Y. +5 more
In 2009 and 2010, the Cassini spacecraft made seven targeted Enceladus flybys along trajectories parallel to the equatorial plane. The magnetometer on board Cassini made a complete set of vector field distribution measurements on these tracks and observed significant perturbations that further constrained the location of the momentum-exchange regi…
Conjunction of anti-parallel and component reconnection at the dayside MP: Cluster and Double Star coordinated observation on 6 April 2004
Wei, Y.; Dunlop, M. W.; Bogdanova, Y. V. +7 more
Previous theoretical and simulation studies have suggested that the anti-parallel and component reconnection can occur simultaneously on the dayside magnetopause. Certain observations have also been reported to support global conjunct pattern of magnetic reconnection. Here, we show direct evidence for the conjunction of anti-parallel and component…
Tidal variations in the Martian lower atmosphere inferred from Mars Express Planetary Fourier Spectrometer temperature data
Grassi, D.; Kasaba, Y.; Formisano, V. +4 more
We report on the characteristics of tidal variations in the Martian lower atmosphere (<45 km) using the Mars Express (MEX) Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) temperature data for about three Martian years (between the ends of MY26 and MY29). The PFS data, which widely cover local time, enable us to investigate diurnal variations in the atmosp…
