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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aSolar system 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aSolar and Heliospheric Physics $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22070 606 $aPlanetary Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22060 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aSolar system. 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 14$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aSolar and Heliospheric Physics . 615 24$aPlanetary Sciences. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 676 $a520 676 $a500.5 700 $aSulaiman$b Ali Haidar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888452 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151848403321 996 $aThe Near-Saturn Magnetic Field Environment$91984710 997 $aUNINA
