متن کامل24 Saturn ’ s Exploration Beyond Cassini - Huygens
For its beautiful rings, active atmosphere and mysterious magnetic field, Saturn is a fascinating planet. It also holds some of the keys to understanding the formation of our Solar System and the evolution of giant planets in general. While the exploration by the Cassini-Huygens mission has led to great advances in our understanding of the planet and its moons, it has left us with puzzling ques...
متن کاملCassini magnetometer observations during Saturn orbit insertion.
Cassini's successful orbit insertion has provided the first examination of Saturn's magnetosphere in 23 years, revealing a dynamic plasma and magnetic environment on short and long time scales. There has been no noticeable change in the internal magnetic field, either in its strength or its near-alignment with the rotation axis. However, the external magnetic field is different compared with pa...
متن کاملCassini Cosmic Dust Analyser: Composition of Dust at Saturn
We discuss issues involved with interpreting time-offlight mass spectra (TOFMS) obtained by the Chemical Analyser subsystem of the Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA). We use an in-house ion dynamics code specifically written for CDA which helps us to understand and constrain the initial impact plasma ion kinetic energy and angular distributions. We also present some typical results obtained fro...
متن کاملThe spectrum of a Saturn ring spoke from Cassini/VIMS
[1] On 2008, July, the Cassini/VIMS spectrometer detected spokes on the Saturn’s B ring for the first time. These are the first measurements of the complete reflectance spectrum of the spokes in a wide spectral range (0.35–0.51 mm). Here we will focus on a single broad-shaped spoke, imaged by VIMS on July, 9. Radiative transfer modeling supports a pure water ice composition for the spoke’s grai...
