Accessing, visualizing and analyzing heterogeneous plasma datasets has always been a tedious task that hindered students and senior researchers as well. Offering user friendly and versatile tools to perform basic research tasks is therefore pivotal for data centres including the Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas (CDPP http://www.cdpp.eu…

Science data visualization in planetary and heliospheric contexts with 3DView

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2017.07.007 Bibcode: 2018P&SS..150..111G

André, N.; Budnik, E.; Pitout, F. +21 more

We present a 3D orbit viewer application capable of displaying science data. 3DView, a web tool designed by the French Plasma Physics Data Center (CDPP) for the planetology and heliophysics community, has extended functionalities to render space physics data (observations and models alike) in their original 3D context. Time series, vectors, dynami…

On the estimation of the current density in space plasmas: Multi- versus single-point techniques

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2017.03.008 Bibcode: 2017P&SS..140....6P

Sorriso-Valvo, Luca; Perri, Silvia; Malara, Francesco +2 more

Thanks to multi-spacecraft mission, it has recently been possible to directly estimate the current density in space plasmas, by using magnetic field time series from four satellites flying in a quasi perfect tetrahedron configuration. The technique developed, commonly called ;curlometer; permits a good estimation of the current density when the ma…

Isolated magnetic field structures in Mercury's magnetosheath as possible analogues for terrestrial magnetosheath plasmoids and jets

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2016.06.002 Bibcode: 2016P&SS..129...61K

Karlsson, Tomas; Raines, Jim M.; Liljeblad, Elisabet +3 more

We have investigated MESSENGER magnetic field data from the Mercury magnetosheath and near solar wind, to identify isolated magnetic field structures (defined as clear, isolated changes in the field magnitude). Their properties are studied in order to determine if they may be considered as analogues to plasmoids and jets known to exist in Earth's …

Origin of the backstreaming ions in a young Hot Flow Anomaly

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2016.08.003 Bibcode: 2016P&SS..131..102V

Vaisberg, O. L.; Shuvalov, S. D.; Shestakov, A. Yu. +1 more

We analyze an event in front of the bow shock observed by Cluster spacecraft on 22.02.2006. This event has many attributes of Hot Flow Anomaly at early stage of development including strong upstream beam and disturbed magnetic profile with increased magnetic field at one or two sides as observed by 4 Cluster spacecraft. The angle between the magne…

On the shape and motion of the Earth's bow shock

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2014.01.006 Bibcode: 2014P&SS...93....1M

Meziane, K.; Hamza, A. M.; Alrefay, T. Y.

Multipoint-measurements by the magnetic field Cluster-FGM (Flux Gate Magnetometer) are used to determine the local shock normal, and in turn allow the study of shock location shape and the velocity of the Earth's bow shock. The shock crossings cover orbits in which the spacecraft separation is of the order of ~600 km or less. A data selection of 1…
