Energy conversion in cometary atmospheres. Hybrid modeling of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Solar wind cavity modeling with cometary ion production and solar wind penetration is used to determine the local dynamo activity and energization of the particles by electromagnetic interaction with the background plasma. The model results are strikingly similar to the 67P observations.
