Open and partially closed models of the solar wind interaction with outer planet magnetospheres: the case of Saturn

A wide variety of interactions take place between the magnetized solar wind plasma outflow from the Sun and celestial bodies within the solar system. Magnetized planets form magnetospheres in the solar wind, with the planetary field creating an obstacle in the flow. The reconnection efficiency o...
