Cassini plasma observations of Saturn’s magnetospheric cusp

TL;DR: An overview of the cusp plasma observations at the Saturnian magnetosphere from the Cassini spacecraft era is presented in this paper, where the locations of the reconnection site are calculated and shown to vary along the subsolar magnetopause.
Journal ArticleDOI

A compact E × B filter: A multi-collector cycloidal focusing mass spectrometer.

TL;DR: Examples of mass spectra obtained from the cycloidal focusing mass spectrometer are presented as well as information on mass discrimination based on instrumental parameters and isotope ratio monitoring of certain ion signals in separate Faraday cups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental Coupling of a MEMS Gas Chromatograph and a Mass Spectrometer for Organic Analysis in Space Environments

TL;DR: The mass spectrometer for planetary exploration (MASPEX) is a versatile and versatile Mass Spectrometer with unprecedented mass resolution designed for spaceflight as mentioned in this paper, however, the current version of MASPEX is desi...

Enceladus and Titan: Emerging Worlds of the Solar System (ESA Voyage 2050 White Paper)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe outstanding questions pertaining to Titan and Enceladus -legacies of the successful Cassini-Huygens mission and make the case that such questions are not merely specific to these two mysterious systems but have much broader and deeper implications for humakind's outstanding questions at large of habitability in the Solar System.

The Longitudinal Variation of the Color Ratio of the Jovian Ultraviolet Aurora: A Geometric Effect?

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of viewing geometry on the auroral color ratio was assessed using a three-dimensional model, which showed that both an auroral arc with a geometry deduced from images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and a uniform polar cap emission produce no modulation or a minimum absorption when the longitude of the Jovian central meridian (CML) is close to 200°.
