Abstract The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) will make comprehensive three-
dimensional mass-resolved measurements of the full variety of plasma phenomena found in …

In space plasmas the phenomenon of mass loading is common. Comets are one of the most
evident objects where mass loading controls to a large extent the structure and dynamics of …

In this paper we present an in-depth study of the distributions of various neutral species in
Titan's upper atmosphere, between 950 and 1500 km for abundant species (N2, CH4, H2) …

Simulation has become a valuable tool that compliments more traditional methods used to
understand solar system plasmas and their interactions with planets, moons and comets …

Ions produced by ionization of Martian neutral atoms or molecules and picked up by the
solar wind flow are expected to be an important ingredient of the Martian plasma …

Titan possesses a dense atmosphere, consisting mainly of molecular nitrogen. Titan's orbit
is located within the Saturnian magnetosphere most of the time, where the corotating plasma …

Titan's interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere is studied using a combination of a three‐
dimensional (3‐D) single‐fluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation and a test …

Understanding the processes involved in the interaction of solar system bodies with plasma
flows is fundamental to the entire field of space physics. The features of the interaction can …

Using a three‐dimensional multifluid simulation, we demonstrate the importance of ion
gyroradius and heavy ion effects when characterizing Titan's plasma interaction with the …

Titan possesses an extensive atmosphere and ionosphere and no obvious significant
intrinsic magnetic field. Its ionosphere directly interacts with the surrounding plasma …
