      Lindkvist, Jesper; Hamrin, Maria; Gunell, Herbert; Nilsson, Hans; Wedlund, Cyril Simon; Kallio, Esa; Mann, Ingrid; Pitkänen, Timo; Karlsson, Tomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-21)
      <i>Aims</i>: We wish to investigate the energy conversion between particles and electromagnetic fields and determine the location where it occurs in the plasma environment of comets.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: We used a hybrid plasma model that included photoionization, and we considered two cases of the solar extreme ultraviolet flux. Other parameters corresponded to the conditions of comet ...

      In the White Paper, submitted in response to the European Space Agency (ESA) Voyage 2050 Call, we present the importance of advancing our knowledge of plasma-neutral gas interactions, and of deepening our understanding of the partially ionized environments that are ubiquitous in the upper atmospheres of planets and moons, and elsewhere in space. In future space missions, the above task ...
