The investigators will examine solar wind interactions with non-magnetic solar system bodies such as Venus, Mars, Titan, and various comets. Research in this area contributes to a broad, comparative understanding of planetary ionospheres and induced magnetospheres that form on inherently non-magnetic bodies. The main effort is theoretical modeling of this interaction using several complementary techniques. Primary emphasis of the research will be collisional interactions between plasmas and neutral gases and the evolution of plasma distribution functions in induced magnetospheres.

研究人员将研究太阳风与非磁性太阳系天体的相互作用，如金星、火星、土卫六和各种彗星。这一领域的研究有助于对行星电离层和在固有非磁性物体上形成的感应磁层的广泛、比较的了解。主要工作是使用几种互补技术对这种交互作用进行理论建模。研究的重点将是等离子体和中性气体之间的碰撞相互作用，以及感应磁层中等离子体分布函数的演变。
