Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053"Doctoral thesis accepted by Imperial College London, UK."3-319-49291-8 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction to Space Plasmas -- The Sun-Saturn Connection -- Spacecraft and Instrumentation -- Magnetic Field Characterisation of Saturn’s Bow Shock -- Quasi-perpendicular High Mach Number Collisionless Shocks -- The Magnetic Structure of Saturn’s Magnetosheath -- Summary and Perspective -- Bibliography.This thesis focuses on the very high Mach number shock wave that is located sunward of Saturn's strong magnetic field in the continuous high-speed flow of charged particles from the Sun (the solar wind). The author exploits the fact that the Cassini spacecraft is the only orbiter in a unique parameter regime, far different from the more familiar near-Earth space, to provide in-situ insights into the unreachable exotic regime of supernova remnants. This thesis bridges the gap between shock physics in the Solar System and the physics of ultra-high Mach number shocks around the remnants of supernova explosions, since to date research into the latter has been restricted to theory, remote observations, and simulations.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Space sciencesSolar systemPlanetary scienceAstrophysicsSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Solar and Heliospheric Physics https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22070Planetary Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22060Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Space sciences.Solar system.Planetary science.Astrophysics.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Solar and Heliospheric Physics .Planetary Sciences.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.520500.5Sulaiman Ali Haidarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut888452BOOK9910151848403321The Near-Saturn Magnetic Field Environment1984710UNINA
