Solar corona-induced fluctuations on spacecraft signal amplitude observed during solar superior conjunctions of the Cassini spacecraft
Morabito, David D.
During the superior solar conjunctions of interplanetary spacecraft, the emitted radio signals undergo increased amplitude scintillation, phase scintillation, and spectral broadening due to the intervening charged particles of the solar corona. The magnitude of these parameters generally increases as the angle between the spacecraft and the center…
A finite difference time domain model for the Titan ionosphere Schumann resonances
Navarro, E. A.; Soriano, A.; Morente, J. A. +1 more
This paper presents a numerical approach to model the electrical properties of Titan's atmosphere. The finite difference time domain technique is applied to model the atmosphere of Saturn's satellite in order to determine Schumann resonant frequencies and electromagnetic field distributions at the extremely low frequency range. Spherical coordinat…
