Energetic Particle Observations Near the Termination Shock
The most recent data from Voyager 1 (V1) show that a second event (TS2), apparently associated with the termination shock (TS), is in progress, with spectral characteristics similar to the energetic particle increase observed from 2002.4 2003.1 (TS1) [1,2]. We concentrate on the pressure, composition, and anisotropy profiles of TS1. The magnetic field pressure [3] is significantly smaller than ...
متن کاملThe “Puck” energetic charged particle detector: Design, heritage, and advancements
Energetic charged particle detectors characterize a portion of the plasma distribution function that plays critical roles in some physical processes, from carrying the currents in planetary ring currents to weathering the surfaces of planetary objects. For several low-resource missions in the past, the need was recognized for a low-resource but highly capable, mass-species-discriminating energe...
متن کاملNew Evidence for Geomagnetically Trapped Anomalous Cosmic Rays
We report new observations of _> 15 MeV/nuc trapped heavy ions with Z_> 2, made on the polar-orbiting SAMPEX spacecraft in late 1992 and early 1993. A trapped population that includes He, N, O, and Ne is found to be located at L -2. We conclude that the observed N, O, and Ne ions are "anomalous" cosmic rays, trapped by the mechanism proposed by Blake and Friesen. While it is not expected that t...

recently than others; Europa could experience current cryovolcanic and tectonic activity. Global-scale patterns of tectonic Images of Europa from the Galileo spacecraft show a surface features suggest deformation resulting from non-synchronous with a complex history involving tectonic deformation, impact rotation of Europa around Jupiter. Some regions of the lithocratering, and possible emplace...
متن کاملPitch angle distribution of trapped energetic protons and helium isotope nuclei measured along the Resurs-01 No. 4 LEO satellite
The NINA detector on board the Resurs-01 No. 4 satellite (835 km, 98 inclination) is equipped with particle trackers based on silicon strip detectors. From the energy deposited in each of its silicon layers the mass, the momentum direction and energy of incident particles have been determined. The resolutions in mass and energy allow identification of H and He isotopes over the 10–50 MeV/n ener...
