Interplanetary coronal mass ejection observed at STEREO-A, Mars, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, Saturn, and New Horizons en route to Pluto: Comparison of its Forbush decreases at 1.4, 3.1, and 9.9 AU

We discuss observations of the journey throughout the Solar System of a large interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that was ejected at the Sun on 14 October 2014. The ICME hit Mars on 17 October, as observed by the Mars Express, Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Mission (MAVEN), Mars Odyssey, and Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) missions,…
Current sheets in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's coma
Coates, A. J.; Jones, G. H.; Glassmeier, K. -H. +16 more
The Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) data are used to investigate the presence of current sheets in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The interaction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) transported by the solar wind toward the outgassing comet consists amongst others of mass loading and field line draping near the nucleus. The dra…
Electron temperature anisotropy associated to field-aligned currents in the Earth's magnetosphere inferred from Rosetta MIP-RPC observations during 2009 flyby
Henri, P.; Hamelin, M.; Béghin, C. +3 more
A new approach is proposed for data interpretation of the Mutual Impedance Probe (MIP) instrument from the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) during the 2009 Earth's flyby gravity assist through the magnetosphere, from dusk to dawn regions. The spacecraft trajectory of ±8 RE (Earth's radius) was crossing several structures of field-aligned…
