Title The Near-Saturn Magnetic Field Environment Author(s) Sulaiman, Ali Haidar Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XXV, 97 p. 47 illus., 22 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This thesis focuses on the very high Mach number shock wave that is located sunward of Saturn's strong magnetic field in the continuous high-speed flow of charged particles from the Sun (the solar wind). The author exploits the fact that the Cassini spacecraft is the only orbiter in a unique parameter regime, far different from the more familiar near-Earth space, to provide in-situ insights into the unreachable exotic regime of supernova remnants. This thesis bridges the gap between shock physics in the Solar System and the physics of ultra-high Mach number shocks around the remnants of supernova explosions, since to date research into the latter has been restricted to theory, remote observations, and simulations ISBN,Price 9783319492926 Keyword(s) 1.
