Dayside and nightside segments of a polar arc: The particle characteristics
Parks, G. K.; Zhang, Y.; Lee, J. -J. +8 more
Using multiple satellites and a ground-based radar network, the physical characteristics of a polar arc and its evolution are investigated under quiet solar wind conditions. The average electron energy is higher at the near-midnight segment than at the sunward extension of the polar arc. Both polar arc segments are positioned primarily on closed m…
Plasma particle simulations on stray photoelectron current flows around a spacecraft
Miyake, Y.; Usui, H.; Nakashima, H. +1 more
In tenuous space plasmas, photoelectron flows produce complex current paths among multiple conducting elements of spacecraft, which may influence the current-voltage characteristics of double-probe electric field sensors. We performed full-particle simulations on this effect by assuming a sensor configuration that is typical of recent designs like…
Observations of quasi-perpendicular propagating electromagnetic waves near the ionopause current sheet of Venus
Luhmann, J. G.; Russell, C. T.; Wei, H. Y. +3 more
Due to the lack of an intrinsic magnetic field at Venus, the Venus ionosphere acts as the obstacle to the incoming solar wind flow. Induced currents flowing on the ionopause resist the penetration of the solar wind magnetic fields into the ionosphere. The Venus Express magnetometer occasionally observes plasma waves near the ionopause. These waves…
