Triple F—a comet nucleus sample return mission (2009)

Küppers, Michael, Keller, H. U., Kührt, E., A’Hearn, M. F., Altwegg, K., Bertrand, R., ...

The Triple F (Fresh From the Fridge) mission, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return, has been proposed to ESA’s Cosmic Vision program. A sample return from a comet enables us to reach the ultimate goal of...

The STEREO/PLASTIC response to solar wind ions (Flight measurements and models) (2009)

H. Daoudi, L. M. Blush, P. Bochsler, A. B. Galvin, C. Giammanco, R. Karrer, ...

The Plasma and Supra-Thermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) instrument is one of four experiment packages on board of the two identical STEREO spacecraft A and B, which were successfully launched from...

The Relative Abundance of Chromium and Iron in the Solar Wind (2008)

J. A. Paquette, F. M. Ipavich, S. E. Lasley, P. Bochsler, P. Wurz

Abstract. Chromium and iron are two heavy elements in the solar wind with similar masses. The MTOF (Mass Time Of Flight) sensor of the CELIAS investigation on the SOHO spacecraft easily allows these...

Triple F - A Comet Nucleus Sample Return Mission (2008)

Küppers, Michael, Keller, Horst Uwe, Kührt, Ekkehard, A'Hearn, Michael, Altwegg, Kathrin, Bertrand, R., ...

The Triple F (Fresh From the Fridge) mission, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return, has been proposed to ESA’s Cosmic Vision program. A sample return from a comet enables us to reach the ultimate goal of...

Energetic neutral atoms as the explanation for the high velocity hydrogen around HD 209458b (2008)

Holmström, M., Ekenbäck, A., Selsis, F., Penz, T., Lammer, H., Wurz, P.

Absorption in the stellar Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly-$\alpha$) line observed during the transit of the extrasolar planet HD 209458b reveals high velocity atomic hydrogen at great distances from the planet....

Identification of the ECR zone in the SWISSCASE ECR ion source (2008)

Bodendorfer, M, Altwegg, K, Wurz, P, Shea, H

The magnetic field of the permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source SWISSCASE located at the University of Bern has been numerically simulated and experimentally investigated....

The loss of ions from Venus through the plasma wake (2007)

Barabash, S., Fedorov, A., Sauvaud, J. J., Lundin, R., Russell, C. T., Futaana, Y., ...

Venus, unlike Earth, is an extremely dry planet although both began with similar masses, distances from the Sun, and presumably water inventories. The high deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio in the venusian...

Mercury's Surface Composition and Character as Measured by Ground-Based Observations (2007)

Sprague, A., Warell, J., Cremonese, G., Langevin, Y., Helbert, J., Wurz, P., ...

Mercury’s surface is thought to be covered with highly space-weathered silicate material. The regolith is composed of material accumulated during the time of planetary formation, and subsequently...

The variability of Mercury's exosphere by particle and radiation induced surface release processes (2003)

Lammer, H., Wurz, P., Patel, M., Killen, R., Kolb, C., Massetti, S., ...

Mercury's close orbit around the Sun, its weak intrinsic magnetic field and the absence of an atmosphere (Psurface

Surface analysis of Mercury with a mass-spectrometer (2002)

Whitby, J. A., Busemann, H., Rohner, U., Benz, W., Wurz, P.

Introduction: The European Space Agency BepiColombo mission to Mercury will include a lander, the Mercury Surface Element (MSE). Although the final configuration of instruments is still to be...

Origin of the May 1998 suprathermal particles: Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Charge, Element, and Isotope Analysis System/(Highly) Suprathermal Time of Flight results (2002)

Bamert, K., Wimmer-Schweingruber, R. F., Kallenbach, R., Hilchenbach, M., Klecker, B., Bogdanov, A., ...

[1] The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Charge, Element, and Isotope Analysis System/(Highly) Suprathermal Time of Flight ((H)STOF) mass spectrometer measures the elemental composition and the...

Ion outflow observed by IMAGE: Implications for source regions and heating mechanisms (2001)

Fuselier, S A, Ghielmetti, A G, Moore, T E, Collier, M R, Quinn, J M, Wilson, G R, ...

Images of the Earth's proton aurora from the IMAGE spacecraft on 8 June 2000 indicate a temporally and spatially isolated ionospheric response to a shock that impinged on the Earth's magnetopause....

Isotopic Composition of Solar Wind Calcium: First in Situ Measurement by CELIAS/MTOF on Board SOHO (1998)

Kallenbach, R., Ipavich, F. M., Bochsler, P., Hefti, S., Wurz, P., Aellig, M. R., ...

We present first results on the Ca isotopic abundances derived from the high resolution Mass Time-of-Flight (MTOF) spectrometer of the charge, element, and isotope analysis system (CELIAS) experiment...
