Potential structure around the Cassini spacecraft near the orbit of Enceladus

Miloch, W. J.; Olson, J.; Ratynskaia, S. +1 more

We present the results of numerical simulations of the potential structure around an object in a streaming plasma with parameters relevant for the Cassini spacecraft passing through Saturn's plasma disk near the orbit of Enceladus. Two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell codes have been used allowing the potential of the simulated spacecraft b…
