Implications from secondary emission from neutral impact on <i>Cassini</i> plasma and dust measurements
Implications from secondary emission from neutral impact on <i>Cassini</i> plasma and dust measurements
We investigate the role of secondary electron and ion emission from impact of gas molecules on the Cassini Langmuir Probe (RPWS-LP, or LP) measurements in the ionosphere of Saturn. We add a model of the emission currents, based on laboratory measurements and data from comet 1P/Halley, to the equations used …
