Interaction of the solar wind with comets: a Rosetta perspective

The Rosetta mission provides an unprecedented possibility to study the interaction of comets with the solar wind. As the spacecraft accompanies comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from its very low-activity stage through its perihelion phase, the physics of mass loading is witnessed for various activity levels of the nucleus. While observations at other comets provided snapshots of the interaction ...

Evolution of Near-Sun Solar Wind Turbulence

This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the turbulence spectrum of the solar wind in the near-Sun region R < 50R⊙, obtained from interplanetary scintillation measurements with the Ooty Radio Telescope at 327 MHz. The results clearly show that the scintillation is dominated by density irregularities of size about 100 − 500 km. The scintillation at the small-scale side of the spectrum, alth...

Comets and the early solar system

© 2008 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0806-010-9 Active comets are fascinating ephemeral bodies that have both thrilled and terrified people for millennia. As a bonus, when Earth passes through a comet’s debris trail, we see a dazzling meteor shower. The phenomena of comets are spectacular, but what they can tell us about the early solar system is extraordinary. Comets are the best-...

Oscillatory Flow Near a Stagnation Point

The classical Hiemenz solution describes incompressible two-dimensional stagnation point flow at a solid wall. We consider an unsteady version of this problem, examining particularly the response close to the wall when the solution at infinity is modulated in time by a periodic factor of specified amplitude and frequency. While this problem has already been tackled in the literature for general...
