This consolidated grant supports a programme of STFC-funded research into the physics of various plasma environments within our solar system. The programme is thus divided into four distinct projects, the aims of which are as follows:- Project 1 aims to determine the extent to which internal magnetospheric processes disrupt the solar wind control of large-scale magnetospheric dynamics and ensuing space weather, by considering phenomena that decouple the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere system.- Project 2 will investigate lunar dust charging and dynamics as well as collective behaviour of dusty plasmas applicable to other bodies in the solar system (e.g. Saturn's rings, comets). This will be done by further development of a 3D particle-in-cell simulation developed at Lancaster that will include all relevant forces, distributions and fields to fully capture the physics. - Project 3 will exploit data from Mars- and Saturn-orbiting spacecraft to study magnetic flux ropes, a phenomenon linked to the loss of planetary atmospheres from unmagnetised bodies, to understand their role in solar-planetary coupling.- Project 4 will identify how energy from the Sun affects Saturn, through the study of Saturn's auroral emissions observed by Cassini and the Hubble Space Telescope under the extremes of solar cycle activity.

这项合并的赠款支持了STFC资助的研究计划，该计划对我们太阳系中各种等离子体环境的物理学进行了研究。因此，该程序被分为四个不同的项目，其目的如下： - 项目1旨在确定内部磁层过程破坏大型磁层动力学的太阳能控制的程度，并通过考虑将lunmasimas unsicmmas的尘埃供应的现象，通过考虑将lunsmas dynammas tynamiss and Dynamiss and Dynamiss and Octing and Intys Octing and Intys Opging and Odning and Opnicging进行供应的现象，并随之而来的空间天气。太阳系中的其他尸体（例如土星的环，彗星）。这将通过在兰开斯特开发的3D粒子中模拟的进一步开发来完成，该模拟将包括所有相关力，分布和磁场以充分捕获物理。 - 项目3将利用来自火星和土星的路上航天器的数据来研究磁通量，这一现象与未经无效的身体失去行星大气的丧失有关，以了解它们在太阳能行星耦合中的作用。太阳周期活动的极端望远镜。
