Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Drifting discrete Jovian radio bursts reveal acceleration processes related to Ganymede and the main aurora

Nature Communications, 2023
Radio detection at high time-frequency resolutions is a powerful means of remotely studying electron acceleration processes. Radio bursts have characteristics (polarization, drift, periodicity) making them easier to detect than slowly variable emissions.

The Cycles and Dynamical Properties of Convective Outbreaks in Jupiter's Highest Speed Jet From a 55‐Year Study

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Jupiter's most intense jet at planetographic latitude 23.7°N experiences vigorous planetary‐scale disturbances. The onset consists of the outbreak of 1–3 bright clouds of convective origin developing turbulent plumes. Observed events between 1970 and 2025 shows a cycle of activity with a period in the range of 3.8–5.1 yrs interrupted between ...

Juno Observations of Ion‐Inertial Scale Flux Ropes in the Jovian Magnetotail

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Two ion‐inertial scale magnetic flux ropes are identified in the Juno magnetic field measurements in the dawnside Jovian magnetotail. Previously reported plasmoids in this region had typical diameters of several Jovian radii (RJ).

Reconstructing the Geometry of a Hot Flow Anomaly With Bounding Jets in Magnetosheath

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract When interplanetary magnetic field discontinuities interact with planetary bow shocks, hot flow anomalies (HFAs) form in the solar wind and can extend into the magnetosheath. Here we reconstruct the three‐dimensional geometry of an HFA bounded by two jet regions in the terrestrial magnetosheath.

Atmospheric Ion‐Neutral Coupling as a Potential Driver for Saturn's Magnetospheric Antisunward Electric Field

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Saturn's inner magnetosphere contains a weak antisunward electric field that has influenced a wide array of different aspects of the magnetospheric conditions in that region. Previously, these currents have been explained as being caused by magnetospheric drivers.

Differentiating Plumes and Local Torus Segments of Enceladus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Enceladus's south polar plumes and their surrounding torus segments (local plasma regions formed by plume material diffusion) are key to understanding its magnetospheric interaction; however, clear observational criteria to distinguish them remain lacking.

The Jovian ionosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, 1974
Models for the Jovian ionosphere which incorporate the role of hydrocarbons in the production and loss of ionization, are presented. A new feature is the possible existence of a second peak in the electron density distribution. On comparing our model with the results of the Pioneer‐10 measurements of the Jovian ionospheric electron density‐distribution,

Ozone Production by Electron Irradiation of Regolith Ice: Laboratory Study for the Icy Moons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We irradiate fine‐grained regolith pure water ice in ultra high vacuum with 5keV $5\,\text{keV}$ and 10keV $10\,\text{keV}$ electrons to study the radiolysis of water ice. The ice regolith is designed to closely mimic the physical characteristics of the surfaces of the icy moons of the Solar System.
