AC magnetic field measurements onboard Cross-Scale: scientific objectives and instrument design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ACB search-coil magnetometer for Cross-Scale will measure three components of the AC magnetic field up to 4 kHz, and one component up to 100 kHz. Turbulent and coherent magnetic field fluctuations in the frequency range of ACB play an important role in the acceleration, scattering, and thermalisation of particles; ACB observations will, together with the other instruments of the wave consortium, allow to address the key science objectives associated with plasma waves. We focus on some of the important issues, based on the experience drawn from Cluster.

The images taken by the Heliospheric Imagers (HIs), part of the SECCHI imaging package onboard the pair of STEREO spacecraft, provide information on the radial and latitudinal evolution of the plasma compressed inside corotating interaction regions (CIRs). A plasma density wave imaged by the HI instrument onboard STEREO-B was found to propagate towards STEREO-A, enabling a comparison between si...
متن کاملThe FIELDS Instrument Suite for Solar Probe Plus
NASA’s Solar Probe Plus (SPP) mission will make the first in situ measurements of the solar corona and the birthplace of the solar wind. The FIELDS instrument suite on SPP will make direct measurements of electric and magnetic fields, the properties of in situ plasma waves, electron density and temperature profiles, and interplanetary radio emissions, amongst other things. Here, we describe the...
متن کاملModelling irradiance variations from the surface distribution of the solar magnetic field
An important question in solar physics is to what extent solar surface magnetism affects the solar irradiance. Previous attempts to answer this question have employed proxies of the magnetic field to reconstruct the irradiance and compare it with observations. Here we present the first model calculations of solar irradiance variations based on variations of the surface distribution of the solar...
