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 کاملObservations of interplanetary dust by the Juno magnetometer investigation
One of the Juno magnetometer investigation’s star cameras was configured to search for unidentified objects during Juno’s transit en route to Jupiter. This camera detects and registers luminous objects to magnitude 8. Objects persisting in more than five consecutive images and moving with an apparent angular rate of between 2 and 18,000 arcsec/s were recorded. Among the objects detected were a ...
متن کاملMESSENGER observations of large dayside flux transfer events: Do they drive Mercurys substorm cycle?
The large-scale dynamic behavior of Mercury’s highly compressedmagnetosphere is predominantly powered by magnetic reconnection, which transfers energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere. The contribution of flux transfer events (FTEs) at the daysidemagnetopause to the redistribution of magnetic flux in Mercury’s magnetosphere is assessed with magnetic field data acquired in o...
متن کاملCusp of Carabelli: Observations of an Odontogenic Trait
The “Cusp of Carabelli” (COC) is a non-functioning, accessory cusp positioned on the mesiopalatal surface of permanent maxillary molars, predominately first molars and primary second molars. This supplemental cusp has been studied for several hundred years regarding size ranges, ethnic and racial distributions and genetic and/or environmental etiologies. The content of this report will explore ...
متن کاملMulti-point observations of intermittency in the cusp regions
In this paper we investigate the statistical properties of magnetic field fluctuations measured by the four Cluster spacecraft in the cusp and close to the interface with the magnetospheric lobes, magnetopause and magnetosheath. At lower altitudes along the outbound orbit of 26 February 2001, the magnetic field fluctuations recorded by all four spacecraft are random and their Probability Distri...
