Cassini 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 کاملCurrent density and forces for a current loop moving parallel over a thin conducting sheet
An analytical expression for the eddy current forces on a circular current loop moving with constant velocity over a thin conducting sheet is derived in this paper. This calculation is based on using the boundary conditions across the conducting sheet to solve for the total magnetic vector potential. The eddy currents in the sheet and the forces on the sheet are first presented in the ‘quasista...
متن کاملObservations of Seven Atmospheric Density Current Fronts in Dixon, California*
Seven atmospheric density current fronts are identified in sequences of ground-based, scanning aerosol backscatter lidar images and in situ micrometeorological time series data that were collected simultaneously and nearly continuously between 15 March and 11 June of 2007 in Dixon, California. The fronts, observed on different days, had the following features in common: 1) an increase in aeroso...
متن کاملCassini observations of the variation of Saturn’s ring current parameters with system size
[1] We have examined residual magnetic field vectors observed in Saturn’s magnetosphere during the first 2 years of the Cassini mission and have fit them to a simple axisymmetric model of the ring current in the middle magnetosphere. We then examine the variations of the ring current parameters with size of the magnetosphere. In addition, we obtain secondary parameters, including the value of t...
متن کاملStructure of Titan’s mid-range magnetic tail: Cassini magnetometer observations during the T9 flyby
[1] We analyze the magnetic structure of Titan’s mid-range magnetic tail (5–6 Titan radii downstream from the moon) during Cassini’s T9 flyby. Cassini magnetometer (MAG) measurements reveal a well-defined, induced magnetic tail consisting of two lobes and a distinct central current sheet. MAG observations also indicate that Saturn’s background magnetic field is close to the moon’s orbital plane...
