A survey of the bulk plasma ion properties observed by Cassini Plasma Spectrometer instrument over roughly first 4.5 years its mission in orbit around Saturn is presented. The moments (density, temperature, and flow velocity) distributions below 50 keV have been computed numerical integration counts “Singles” (non‐mass‐resolved) data, partitioned into species on basis concurrent determinations composition from time‐of‐flight data. Moments are presented for three main species: H + , W (water...

We present an analysis of molecular oxygen ion (O 2 + ) abundance in Saturn's inner magnetosphere based on observations made with the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS). Using data summed over 23 orbits, we resolve and isolate O counts from tail water group mass distribution (W [O , OH H 3 ]) background sources. was initially estimated at ∼1–2% total population CAPS Saturn orbital insertion pass. Through refined techniques, have found to account for just above 0.3% all W ions L = 4.5, only...
We report observations of electric field solitary structures, measured by the Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument in vicinity Saturn's magnetosphere with ambient magnetic fields that range from ∼0.1 nT to 8000 nT. The peak‐to‐peak amplitudes observed structures a few μV/m 10 mV/m show slight trend toward larger amplitude pulses being associated fields. time durations hundred μs 10's milliseconds. waves appear plasma boundary regions or abrupt changes field. tend be when...
We document the presence of solitary structures in electric field, measured by Cassini plasma wave instrument at an interplanetary shock associated with October/November 2003 solar flares. The occurrence frequency electrostatic waves increases prior to and during passage initial boundary but decreases almost zero post‐shock environment. field amplitudes are on order a few tens μV/m, while characteristic scale size is estimated be ∼500 Debye lengths. potentials ∼0.5 V both upstream downstream...

A novel method to calculate the neoclassical radial electric field in stellarator plasmas is described. The method, which does not have inconvenience of large statistical fluctuations (noise) standard Monte Carlo technique, based on variation combined parallel and perpendicular pressures a magnetic surface.

Abstract. A sounding rocket, equipped to study pulsating aurora launched from Poker Flat, Alaska on 13 March 1997 at 10:20:31 UT, measured electron precipitation over the range ~10 eV 500 keV covering pitch-angles 0 180°. Data show electrons with energies <1 are mostly secondaries produced below rocket altitude by higher energy precipitated electrons. We observed nearly equal fluxes of up and down going for altitudes 265 380 km. Electron transport simulation results indicate more...
In this paper, the case of rotation damping for plasmas that lack perfect symmetry is studied. Results from a δf Monte Carlo code are used to calculate damping. The method has proven greatly improve efficiency computing distribution function fusion compared standard techniques. A developed improves upon by combining results kinetic simulation with single-fluid force-balance equation.
Consider the $\mathcal{B}$-valued probability space $(\mathcal{A}, E, \mathcal{B})$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a tracial von Neumann algebra. We extend theory of operator valued free to algebra affiliated operators $\tilde{\mathcal{A}}$. For random variable $X \in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}^{sa}$ we study Cauchy transform $G_{X}$ and show that $(\mathcal{B} \cup \{X\})"$ can be recovered from this function. In case $\mathcal{B}$ finite dimensional, that, when $X, Y are assumed $\mathcal{B}$-free,...
