Abstract Mars Global Surveyor is the sixth spacecraft to return measurements of the Martian
bow shock. The earlier missions were Mariner 4 (1964), Mars 2 and 3 (1972), Mars 5 (1975) …

The investigation of the magnetospheric polar cusps was one of the main objectives of the
Cluster mission. The four satellites have crossed those regions numerous times over the …

This textbook, derived from courses given by three leading researchers, provides advanced
undergraduates and graduates with up-to-date coverage of space physics, from the Sun to …

During the time period of 1 March 2001–1 April 2008, the Composition and Distribution
Function (CODIF) Analyzer on board Cluster observed 41 prolonged He+ energization …

The present paper focuses on the altitude dependence of oxygen ion conics in the dayside
cusp/cleft region. Here, combining oxygen data from the Akebono, Interball-2 and Cluster …

On December 4, 2004, the COmposition and DIstribution Function (CODIF) Analyzer on
board the Cluster spacecraft observed a prolonged He+ energization event from 06: 00 to …

Turbulent fluctuations are omnipresent in the terrestrial magnetosphere as well as in other
planetary plasma systems. While the topic is broad and was largely treated in the past (see …

High-resolution magnetic field data from Cluster Flux Gate Magnetometer (FGM) and the
Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Field Fluctuations (STAFF) instruments are used to study …

We have analyzed Cluster magnetic field and plasma data during high‐altitude cusp
crossing and compared them with high‐resolution MHD simulations. Cluster encountered a …

Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave generation and propagation in Earth's
magnetosphere depend on readily measurable hot (a few to tens of keV) plasma sheet ions …
