Observations of backstreaming protons in the solar wind near the Earth's bow shock

Protons backstreaming in the solar wind, upstream of the Earth's bow shock, are frequently revealed by the plasma, experiment on board satellite ISEE 2. Preliminary results of a statistical analysis (based on ...

Observations of nonlinear turbulence in the upstream solar wind

Plasma, electric-field and magnetic-field data from several experiments on board the spacecraft ISEE 1 and 2 have been analysed in the interaction region upstream of the Earth's bow shock. Upstream waves which...

Quiet-time solar-wind ionic composition

The ISEE-B EGD solar-wind plasma experiment often observes heavy ions in the solar wind. Selecting two periods of quiet solar wind with no particles observed backstreaming from the Earth’s bow-shock, we show t...

Surface-Exosphere-Magnetosphere System Of Mercury

Mercury is a poorly known planet, since the only space-based information comes from the three fly-bys performed in 1974 by the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Ground-based observations also provided some interesting re...

IMF Direction Derived from Cycloid-Like Ion Distributions Observed by Mars Express

Although the Mars Express (MEX) does not carry a magnetometer, it is in principle possible to derive the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation from the three dimensional velocity distribution of pick...

Auroral Plasma Acceleration Above Martian Magnetic Anomalies

Aurora is caused by the precipitation of energetic particles into a planetary atmosphere, the light intensity being roughly proportional to the precipitating particle energy flux. From auroral research in the ...

Mercury’s Surface Composition and Character as Measured by Ground-Based Observations

Mercury’s surface is thought to be covered with highly space-weathered silicate material. The regolith is composed of material accumulated during the time of planetary formation, and subsequently from comets,...
