  1. Swedish Report to ILWS Krusenberg Herrgård 12 June 2007 L Nordh/Mats André

  2. Swedish ILWS in short • Swedish scientist are active in a range of ILWS-related studies, involving observations from both space and the ground (Eiscat). The studies address the following: • The Earth’s upper atmosphere • The Earth’s Ionosphere and Magnetosphere • The environments of solar system bodies • Space weather, including the Sun itself

  3. The ”national” satellite programme

  4. In operation - Cassini/Huygens - Cluster and Double Star (IRF-U, IRF- K) - SOHO (IRF-Lund; space weather) - Mars Express (IRF- K) - Venus Express (IRF- K) - Rosetta (IRF- U, IRF- K; Uppsala Astronomy) Decided or planned - Bepi Colombo (MMO and MPO); IRF, KTH - Solar Orbiter (in-situ and remote sensing); IRF, KTH, Alba Nova Astronomy - SWARM (IRF-U) - ExoMars ESA ”ILWS Satellites” with Swedish participation or interest

  5. Data analysis/in operation/on-going Interball Polar Hinode (IRF-Lund; space weather) Chandrayaan – 1 (2008; IRF-K; Particles) MMS (2013; IRF-U, KTH/Alfvén Laboratory; fields and waves) UNAMSATMAI (late 2007; test of miniaturised plasma instruments on a Mexican-Russian nanosatellite; IRF, KTH) Planned or considered participation SCOPE (Japan), together with Solar Orbiter Solar Sentinels (together with Solar Orbiter) Yinghou-1 and Phobos-Grunt (IRF-K; Mars studies) SDO (IRF-Lund; space weather) Other ”ILWS Satellites” with Swedish participation or interest

  6. ”ILWS missions” proposed for Cosmic Vision 2015-25 - Cross-Scale/SCOPE - TANDEM (Titan and Enceladus Mission) - MEMO (Mars Environment and Magnetic Orbiter) - EVE (European Venus Explorer) - A mission to Europa and the Jupiter system - PHOIBOS (Probing Heliospheric Origins with an Inner Bound) - WARP (Waves and Relativistic Particles) - IHP (Interstellar Heliopause Probe)

  7. Future ”Opportunity Missions” Small dedicated plasma science spacecraft For example, piggy-back to planet or moon

  8. An Aeronomy and Astronomy Mission • Studies of: Star and planet building Ozone destruction and global warming through observations of trace gases • Participacting states Sweden, Finland, France and Canada • Instrument Radiometer (487-575 GHz; 119 GHz) and optical/IR spectrometer • In operation since 20 February 2001. ”Third-party ESA-mission since January 2007.

  9. Example of Odin results

  10. Cluster • 2000/on-going • Electric fields and waves (IRF-Uppsala) • Temporal evolution of auroral electric fields (Marklund et al. Nature, 2001)

  11. Discovery of Alfvén vortecies(Sundkvist et al., Nature, 2005) Magnetic reconnection in turbulent plasma(Retinò et al., Nature Physics, 2007)

  12. Mars Express • 2003/on-going • Charged and neutral particles (IRF-Kiruna) • Small atmospheric outflow (Barabash et al. Science, 2006) • Aurora on Mars (Lundin et al. Science, 2006) • Atmospheric outflow (Lundin et al. Science, 2004)

  13. Venus Express • 2005/on-going • Ions, electrons, and neutral particles (IRF-Kiruna) • Compositon of the escaping plasma (IRF-Kiruna) • Global structure of the interaction region ( 4 papers for PSS special issue) Before IMB After IMB At PS

  14. Space Weather on VEX / MEX Solar flare in December 2006 observed at Venus and Mars (Futaana et al., 2007)

  15. Rosetta ICA -- IRF Kiruna Rosetta OSIRIS -- UAO LAP -- IRF Uppsala

  16. Cassini • 1997/2004 on-going • Plasma density and temp (IRF-Uppsala) Titan atmospheric outflow (Wahlund et al., Science, 2005)E-ring, dust-plasma, andastrophysical accretion discs
