The Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyzer

TL;DR: The Cassini-Huygens Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is intended to provide direct observations of dust grains with masses between 10-19 and 10-9 kg in interplanetary space and in the jovian and satumian systems, to investigate their physical, chemical and dynamical properties as functions of the distances to the Sun, to Jupiter and to Saturn and its satellites and rings as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The heliospheric plasma sheet

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution magnetic field and plasma data gathered by ISEE 3/ICE during several sector boundary crossings are used to investigate the narrow heliospheric current sheet (approximately equal 3 x 10 (exp 3) km to 10(exp 4) km) together with the heliosphere plasma sheet in which it is embedded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic field observations during the ulysses flyby of jupiter.

TL;DR: The Jovian flyby of the Ulysses spacecraft presented the opportunity to confirm and complement the findings of the four previous missions that investigated the structure and dynamics of theJovian magnetosphere and magnetic field, as well as to explore for the first time the high-latitude dusk side of the magnetosphere
Journal ArticleDOI

High-velocity streams of dust originating from Saturn

TL;DR: All bursts of dust impacts detected within 150 Saturn radii are characterized by impact directions markedly different from those measured between the bursts, and they clearly coincide with the spacecraft's traversals through streams of compressed solar wind.
