The Jovian ring

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1981
The results of further measurements of the Jovian ring system are presented. The system has three major components: the bright ring, the faint sheet, and the out‐of‐plane halo. The bright ring has an outer radius of 1.81±0.01 RJ, an inner radius 1.72±0.01 RJ, an eccentricity not greater than 0.003 and a normal optical depth 3 × 10−5.

The Jovian stratosphere in the ultraviolet

Icarus, 1985
The center-of-disk reflectivity of Jupiter in the wavelength range from 1450 to 3150 angstroms has been computed from 30 low-dispersion IUE spectra taken during solar maximum in 1978-1980. A vertically inhomogeneous radiative transfer program is used to compute model reflectivities of various stratospheric compositions for comparison.

Energetic Particles in the Jovian Magnetotail [PDF]

open access: possibleScience, 2007
When the solar wind hits Jupiter's magnetic field, it creates a long magnetotail trailing behind the planet that channels material out of the Jupiter system. The New Horizons spacecraft traversed the length of the jovian magnetotail to >2500 jovian radii ( R J ; 1 R J

The Jovian magnetodisk

Space Science Reviews, 1979
Magnetic field measurements made by the vector helium magnetometers on board Pioneers-10 and 11 reveal the existence of a current sheet (thickness ∼2R J) carrying an eastward current. Self-consistent studies of the current sheet show that the magnitude of the current is of the order of 10+2 Am+1 and that the current is carried by a hot (T>1 keV) plasma,

The Jovian ring

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984
ABSTRACTLying in Jupiter's equatorial plane is a diaphanous ring having little substructure within its three components (main band, faint disk, and halo). Micron-sized grains account for much of the visible ring, but particles of centimeter sizes and larger must also be present to absorb charged particles.

The dynamics of the Jovian magnetosphere

Reviews of Geophysics, 1979
The current status of our understanding of the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere is reviewed. First, a brief summary is presented of the concepts and processes which were identified as being of probable importance by pre‐Pioneer 10 and 11 work (both theoretical and observational).
