Laboratory Experiment on the Solar Wind Interaction with Planetary Bodies

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The electric field generated by the interaction of solar wind with planetary bodies is discussed by the laboratory simulation. It is inferred from this experiment that an upper limit of the electric field behind Moon would be in the order of 10^<-2>V/m, and almost zero behind Venus. The mechanisms generating the electric and the magnetic field by the solar wind interaction are also discussed, and they would respectively be due to charge separation and pressure gradient drift.
