Description

This code produces the monotonic and non-monotonic plasma sheaths above the surface of airless bodies described by Nitter et al.'s paper. Nitter, T., Havnes, O., and Melandsø, F., “Levitation and Dynamics of Charged Dust in the Photoelectron Sheath above Surfaces in Space,” Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 103, 1998, pp. 6605–6620. This code is the plasma model used in: Hartzell, C. and Scheeres, D., “Dynamics of Levitating Dust Particles Near Asteroids and the Moon,” Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Vol. 118, 2013, pp. 116–125.
