varied astrophysical works,
but for a while*, I'm focusing on this relationship :
(*In fact, I am working to measure the density and
temperature of electrons and the typical size of the dust within
the rings of Saturn, using the Cassini's radio antennas, so
I maintain my "varied astrophysical works" hereabove)

My most recent paper (29 june 2005 in GRL):
"Quasi thermal noise
spectroscopy in the inner magnetosphere of Saturn with
Cassini/RPWS: Electron temperature and density."
Do you
want to read my PhD thesis ? (on the Io plasma torus and mainly in french)
or this paper (2002) on the same topic
The latitudinal structure of the Io plasma torus
My bibliography

My favorite spacecrafts and some other links :
First of all,
CASSINI , and more historically
ULYSSES and
WIND . I love the idea of
The Solar Probe
By the way, I am the local PI (here at LESIA) of a radio spectrometer called
SORBET
which is selected in the scientific payload of the :
Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) (one of the two
spacecrafts of the Japanese-European mission
BepiColombo, to be launched in 2012. MMO is the Japanese
one).
Sorbet is a radio spectrometer which investigates the 3-300
kHz band, which includes the plasma
frequency expected in the small Mercury magnetosphere: that should allow the
first in situ observation of the interaction
between Mercury and the Solar Wind.
