Leonard Schulz is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics at Technische Universität Braunschweig, working in the group of Ferdinand Plaschke. Leonard’s work focusses on methods for analyzing multi-point satellite data (especially the wave telescope technique), the effects of re-entering spacecraft and their material release on Earth’s atmosphere, and the magnetometer experiment (J-MAG) aboard ESA’s JUICE mission.

In the poster he presented at EGU24, multi-scale satellite constellations are used to detect waves in magnetic field data by the wave telescope technique within a Vlasiator plasma simulation of the magnetospheric environment around Earth. Results on wave propagation, dispersion and wave characteristics were shown, which are in good agreement with real-data measurements and previously reported results. The study exhibits the advantages of multi-scale satellite configurations comprising more than four spacecraft.
