论文摘要
欧洲航天局的太阳能轨道航天飞机将在2020年5月下旬和2020年6月上旬大约通过Comet C/2019 Y4(Atlas)位置的下游。我们预计,我们预计该航天器可能会在2020年5月31日至6月1日左右遇到彗星的离子尾巴,并在6月2020年6月2020年的污垢中散发出来。在越过彗星的两个尾巴时可能会发现。太阳轨道也将在2020年5月22日靠近C/2020 F8(天鹅)的轨道路径,但我们认为,不太可能检测到与该彗星相关的任何材料。
The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft will pass approximately downstream of the position of comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) in late May and early June 2020. We predict that the spacecraft may encounter the comet's ion tail around 2020 May 31-June 1, and that the comet's dust tail may be crossed on 2020 June 6. We outline the solar wind features and dust grain collisions that the spacecraft's instruments may detect when crossing the comet's two tails. Solar Orbiter will also pass close to the orbital path of C/2020 F8 (SWAN) on 2020 May 22, but we believe that it is unlikely to detect any material associated with that comet.
