Inter‐Orbit Variability of Jupiter's Current Sheet Morphology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The structure of Jupiter's magnetosphere reflects the combined effects of a strong intrinsic field and an extended hinged current sheet whose morphology varies with solar wind forcing. We present a study of Jupiter's magnetodisc that combines the UCL‐AGA magnetodisc code with Khurana's generalized, hinged current sheet models (1992/2022) to ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Unveiling the Connection between the Alfvénic Oval and the Open–Closed Field Line Boundary at Ganymede

The Astrophysical Journal
Alfvén waves generated by the interactions between the Ganymede magnetosphere and the fast-corotating Jovian plasma carry a significant amount of energy.

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Rotation‐Controlled Diurnal Evolution of Uranus' Asymmetric Bow Shock at Equinox

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Uranus possesses the most extreme magnetic and rotational geometry in the solar system, resulting in a uniquely dynamic and asymmetric interaction between its magnetosphere and the solar wind. Here we investigate the diurnal evolution of the Uranian bow shock (BS) at equinox using global multifluid magnetohydrodynamic simulations constrained ...

Forward and Adjoint Calculations of Gravitational Potential in Heterogeneous, Aspherical Planets

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We have developed a computational package for the calculation of numerically exact internal and external gravitational potential, its functional derivatives and sensitivity kernels, in an aspherical, heterogeneous planet. We detail our implementation, utilizing a transformation of the Poisson equation into a spherical reference domain, as well

Reconnection Preferentially Accelerates Light Ions at Ganymede's Magnetopause

Geophysical Research Letters
Juno's flyby of Ganymede revealed ion composition in its vicinity with the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment–Ion (JADE‐I) instrument. Throughout this flyby, we derive species‐resolved ion density and velocity moments by decomposing the time‐of ...

Conditions for Accretion Favoring an Unmelted Callisto and a Differentiated Ganymede

The Planetary Science Journal
Analysis of Callisto’s moments of inertia, derived from Galileo’s gravity data, suggests that its structure is not fully differentiated. This possibly undifferentiated state contrasts sharply with the globally molten state inferred in its counterpart ...

New Polarimetric Data for the Galilean Satellites: Io and Ganymede Observations and Modeling

The Planetary Science Journal
New high-precision disk-integrated measurements of the polarization of Io and Ganymede in the UBVRI bands are presented. The observations were obtained using polarimeters mounted on the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and the Peak Terskol Observatory ...

Strong whistler mode waves observed in the vicinity of Jupiter’s moons

Nature Communications, 2018
Observations of Jupiter’s magnetosphere provide opportunities to understand how magnetic fields interact with particles. Here, the authors report that the chorus wave power is increased in the vicinity of Europa and Ganymede. The generated waves are able
