3. 3IWF/ÖAW GRAZ Space Research Institute Almost 40 years of theoretical and experimental space exploration About 80 scientists and engineers from 11 nations in 3 departments Working topics:  Instrumental development  Gravitational Field of Earth  Space Plasma Physics  Solar System Exploration

4. 4IWF/ÖAW GRAZ Magnetometer Front-end ASIC  Miniaturization (/4-5)  TID radiation hardness (x4)  Power reduction (/10)  Offset stability (/2) Complete active readout electronics for a fluxgate sensor on 20 mm 2 of silicon with 350nm structures

5. 5IWF/ÖAW GRAZ Venus Express E-BOX Ausleger/Boom (90 cm) MAG-OS MAG-IS  Magnetometer group had the lead position  Extremely efficient international cooperation with TU Braunschweig and Imperial College London  Short development time (< 2 years)  Challenging thermal conditions around Venus (2 to 3 suns)  Design, manufacturing and qualification of the boom by the VEXMAG Team  Impressive science output

6. Modeling of MCs from in-situ data  Reconstruction of magnetic clouds from multi-spacecraft observations (e.g. STEREO) with a new method: non force-free, not prescribing the geometry  Yields more accurate shapes, magnetic fluxes and axis orientations  These act as constraints on models of coronal mass ejection initiation and their propagation in the solar wind Reconnection at the Sun  Determination of magnetic flux change rates and of amount of magnetic reconnection flux in solar flares from observations to test standard flare models  Comparison of total flare reconnection flux with magnetic flux in MCs to understand the relation between the solar source and the associated MC Numerical Simulation of Magnetic Clouds (MCs)  Code-Development for a numerical solution of the hyperbolic system of ideal MHD governing equations  Investigate propagation of MCs from the sun to Earth – interaction between MC and structured solar wind  Compare simulated parameters with observations; support for interpreting observations Solar-Planetary Relations
