In this report we discuss the global plasma environment of the TA flyby from the perspective of 3D hybrid modeling. In our model the background, pickup, and ionospheric ions are considered as particles, whereas the electrons are described as a fluid.

We present a bulk ion flow map from the nightside, equatorial region of Saturn's magnetosphere derived from the Cassini CAPS ion mass spectrometer data. The map clearly demonstrates the dominance of corotation flow over radial flow and suggests that

The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) will make comprehensive three-dimensional mass-resolved measurements of the full variety of plasma phenomena found in Saturn's magnetosphere. Our fundamental scientific goals are to understand the nature of satu

The Enceladus and OH Tori at Saturn

The remarkable observation that Enceladus, a small icy satellite of Saturn, is actively venting has led to the suggestion that ejected water molecules are the source of the toroidal atmosphere observed at Saturn for over a decade using the Hubble Spa

Triton's ionospheric source: Electron precipitation or photoionization

Autor: E. C. Sittler, R. E. Hartle

Publikováno v: Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics. 101:10863-10876

We have performed an evaluation to determine whether or not Neptune's magnetospheric electrons can provide the ionization of Triton's ionosphere as previously suggested or whether photoionization is the dominant ionization mechanism. Our approach has
