The magnetic field experiment on WIND will provide data for studies of a broad range of scales of structures and fluctuation characteristics of the interplanetary magnetic field throughout the…
The ACE Magnetic Fields Experiment
- C. Smith, J. L'Heureux, N. Ness, M. Acuna, L. Burlaga, J. Scheifele
- Physics
- 1 July 1998
The magnetic field experiment on ACE provides continuous measurements of the local magnetic field in the interplanetary medium. These measurements are essential in the interpretation of simultaneous…
A model of interplanetary and coronal magnetic fields
- K. Schatten, J. Wilcox, N. Ness
- Physics, Geology
- 1 March 1969
A model of the large-scale magnetic field structure above the photosphere uses a Green's function solution to Maxwell's equations. Sources for the magnetic field are related to the observed…
New models of Jupiter's magnetic field constrained by the Io flux tube footprint
- J. Connerney, M. Acuna, N. Ness, T. Satoh
- Physics
- 1 June 1998
Spherical harmonic models of the planetary magnetic field of Jupiter are obtained from in situ magnetic field measurements and remote observations of the position of the foot of the Io flux tube in…
Modeling the Jovian current sheet and inner magnetosphere
- J. Connerney, M. Acuna, N. Ness
- Physics, Geology
- 30 September 1981
Voyager 1 and 2 magnetic field observations confirm and extend the earlier Pioneer 10 detection of the Jovian magnetodisc, a region of enhanced charged particles and plasma and reduced magnetic field…
Radial evolution of power spectra of interplanetary Alfvénic turbulence
- B. Bavassano, M. Dobrowolny, F. Mariani, N. Ness
- Physics, Geology
- 1 September 1981
The radial evolution of the power spectra of the MHD turbulence within the trailing edge of high-speed streams in the solar wind has been investigated with the magnetic field data of HELIOS 1 and 2…
In Situ Observations of Interstellar Plasma with Voyager 1
- D. Gurnett, W. Kurth, L. Burlaga, N. Ness
- PhysicsScience
- 27 September 2013
Electron densities detected by Voyager 1 show that the spacecraft is in the interstellar plasma, and other observations provide strong evidence that Voyager 1 has crossed the heliopause into the nearby interstellar plasma.
Currents in Saturn's magnetosphere
- J. Connerney, M. Acuna, N. Ness
- Physics
- 1 June 1983
A model of Saturn's magnetospheric magnetic field is obtained from the Voyager 1 and 2 observations. A representation consisting of the Z3 zonal harmonic model of Saturn's planetary magnetic field…
Dissipation range dynamics: Kinetic Alfvn waves and the importance of
- R. Leamon, Charles W. Smith, N. Ness, H. Wong
- Physics
- 1 October 1999
In a previous paper we argued that the damping of obliquely propagating kinetic Alfven waves, chiefly by resonant mechanisms, was a likely explanation for the formation of the dissipation range for…
