Anja Möslinger

Anja Möslinger serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Physics at Umeå University, specializing in space physics with a focus on cometary plasma environments. Her research primarily utilizes data from the Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, investigating ion dynamics, solar wind interactions, and plasma phenomena around cometary nuclei.

Her research interests center on Space Physics and Plasma Physics, with specific expertise in cometary ion behavior, solar wind proton distributions, electric field measurements, and kinetic-scale plasma processes. She employs advanced techniques including test-particle simulations, spacecraft data reconstruction, and comparative analysis of observational data against theoretical models to understand low-activity comet environments.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on Rosetta mission data from comet 67P, demonstrating methodological evolution from observational analysis toward integrated simulation approaches. Key research threads include ion energy/temperature dynamics, electron source mechanisms, and cometosheath formation, with increasing emphasis on multi-species plasma interactions.

Dr. Möslinger is an active member of Umeå University's Solar System Physics research group, collaborating with international teams across multiple institutions as evidenced by her co-authorship patterns. Her work contributes significantly to understanding fundamental plasma processes applicable to both cometary science and broader heliophysical contexts.
