Context. The electrostatic potential of a spacecraft, V S , is important for the capabilities of in situ plasma measurements. Rosetta has been found to be negatively charged during most of the comet mission and even more so in denser plasmas. Aims. Our goal is to investigate how the negative V S correlates with electron density and temperature...
