INSTITUTET FÖR RYMDFYSIK UPPSALA Swedish Institute of Space Physics (59°50.272′N, 17°38.786′E) Student Project/Studentprojekt Far comet tail opportunities Student: Cristina Madurga Favieres, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain Supervisor: Anders Eriksson Period: Spring 2021 Project Comet tails are very extended objects and cometary dust may spread all along the orbit. Sometimes a spacecraft out for something else may cross such a structure. Such opportunities can provide important windows into the physics of these structures. Previous project students Sofie Spjuth (2005) and Ilona Alexandersson (2011) investigated such possibilities for a set of spacecraft, identifying some such occasions. It is time to update their works, particularly for the Solar Orbiter spacecraft (launched 2020). This is the topic of the present project. Results Full report Comet tail sketch. Credit: NASA
