The course introduces the present knowledge of space phenomena and the physical understanding of the plasma environment from the sun to the earth's ionosphere and in the heliosphere. Regions in space ...

plasma physics and many related areas of space physics. Just as impressive is the joy and collegial warmth he brings to this complex work, drawing students, young faculty, colleagues and collaborators ...

Rapid plasma eruptions known as plasmoids take place on the nightside of the magnetosphere. Plasmoids are also associated with the sudden brightening of the aurora. The space physics research ...

UI physics and astronomy professor Jasper Halekas is in charge of an instrument on one of the satellites that will measure speed and direction of electrons in the space plasma. Halekas said the ...
