We present the state of the art on the study of surfaces and tenuous atmospheres of the icy
Galilean satellites Ganymede, Europa and Callisto, from past and ongoing space …

Electrons from the Sun, often accelerated by magnetospheric processes, produce low-
density plasmas in the upper atmospheres of planets and their satellites. The secondary …

Ganymede's atmosphere is produced by charged particle sputtering and sublimation of its
icy surface. Previous far-ultraviolet observations of the O i 1,356 Å and O i 1,304 Å oxygen …

Previous studies of the global intensities of the oxygen emissions at 1,356 Å and 1,304 Å
revealed molecular oxygen (O2) in Europa's atmosphere. Here we investigate the relative …

A numerical 0D kinetic model is developed here to simulate the detailed kinetics of the
ground and excited electronic states of atmospheric gases occurring under streamer …

Ne+ to Ne 8+ ionization yields in 10 14 W/cm 2 to 10 18 W/cm 2 laser fields are reported
over a 10 9 dynamic range. A 3D relativistic rescattering model incorporating (e, 2 e) and (e …

Electron scattering with atomic oxygen has been studied using the B-spline R-matrix-with-
pseudostates method. Cross sections for elastic scattering, excitation, emission, and …

The flow field modeling of planetary entry plasmas, laser-induced plasmas, inductively
coupled plasmas, arcjets, etc., requires to use Navier-Stokes codes. The kinetic mechanisms …

The single-center convergent close coupling (CCC) method has been applied to positron
scattering from the oxygen atom. Cross sections have been calculated for total, elastic …

The B-spline R-matrix approach has been used to calculate electron collisional excitation
strengths and rates for transitions between the 3P, 1D, and 1S states of ground configuration …
