The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is looking for a PhD student to join the Uppsala team to work on a space-weather research project investigating geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in the Swedish power grid. The project is part of an ongoing collaboration between IRF, the Swedish Research Defence Agency, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency,…
Now the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is launching an aurora application that enables the public and tourists to receive notifications on their mobile phones when there is aurora over Kiruna and its surrounding area. The notifications are delivered in real-time and indicate that it is time to head out to experience the sky…
Project Summary FBURST is a project funded by ESA under the recent 4D ionosphere ITT that will advance the understanding of ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling using multi-spacecraft observations from past and present magnetospheric observatories. In this case, Swarm will be used in conjunction with Cluster and MMS to understand how bursty bulk flows (BBFs) couple to the…
On December 19, Louis Richard nailed his doctoral thesis “Energy Conversion and Particle Acceleration at Turbulent Plasma Jet Fronts”. The doctoral thesis was completed at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Uppsala and Uppsala University. The defend take place on January 16 at 09.15 in Heinz-Otto Kreiss, Ångström laboratory, Uppsala. Opponent: Prof. Angelopoulos Vassilis, Department…
Applications are invited for investigations of plasma heating and particle acceleration associated with magnetic reconnection. The PhD student will work with state-of-the-art experimental data from NASA’s multi-spacecraft Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) and ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter missions. Our team at IRF in Uppsala is a leading research group that performs observations, data analysis, and modeling of space…
On 23 November, Joshua Dreyer will present his research on Saturn at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) and Uppsala University by defending his doctoral thesis, which investigates the effects and nature of ring material falling into Saturn’s upper atmosphere from its innermost D ring. The doctoral thesis, Diving Deep into Saturn’s Equatorial Ionosphere with Cassini: Insights…
Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is seeking a highly motivated individual to join the Solar System Physics and Space Technology (SSPT) program at IRF in Kiruna, to advance our knowledge of Venus’ magnetotail plasma processes. The Ph.D. project will focus on the analysis of data collected by the space instrument that SSPT built to…
On the rooftop of the IRF headquarters in Kiruna are domes that protect, among other instruments, various aurora cameras. Under one of these domes is one of a total of five cameras that are part of the unique measurement system ALIS_4D, intended for aurora studies. Under another dome is an all-sky camera that images the…
