Stable habitable zones of single Jovian planet systems [PDF]
, 2017 With continued improvement in telescope sensitivity and observational techniques, the search for rocky planets in stellar habitable zones is entering an exciting era. With so many exoplanetary systems available for follow-up observations to find potentially habitable planets, one needs to prioritise the ever-growing list of candidates.

Electron Density in Io's Alfvén Wing Observed Via Radio Occultation With Juno
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 4, 28 February 2025.Abstract Juno performed close flybys of the innermost Galilean moon, Io, in December 2023 (I57) and February 2024 (I58). During these flybys, the radio link connecting the Juno spacecraft to Earth observing stations of NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) propagated through the Alfvén wing, a magnetospheric feature in which plasma is produced between Io and

Properties of the single Jovian planet population and the pursuit of Solar system analogues [PDF]
, 2018 While the number of exoplanets discovered continues to increase at a rapid rate, we are still to discover any system that truly resembles the Solar system. Existing and near future surveys will likely continue this trend of rapid discovery. To see if these systems are Solar system analogues, we will need to efficiently allocate resources to carry out ...

Spatially Variable Electron Beams in Io's Northern Alfvén Wing and Downstream Region
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 4, 28 February 2025.Abstract We report on 0.032–32 keV electron observations during two Juno flybys of Io on 30 December 2023 and 3 February 2024. The first explored Io's northern Alfvén wing, the second covering its downstream region, south of the plasma wake. Both had closest approach altitudes of ∼1,500 km.

Jupiter’s Metastable Companions
The Astrophysical Journal LettersJovian co-orbitals share Jupiter’s orbit and exhibit 1:1 mean-motion resonance with the planet. This includes >10,000 so-called Trojan asteroids surrounding the leading (L4) and trailing (L5) Lagrange points, viewed as stable groups dating back to planet

Super‐Corotating Flows in Plasma Disk Within 30 Jupiter Radii
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 3, 16 February 2025.Abstract Plasma circulation and magnetic reconnection are crucial for understanding the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere. Previous studies identified hundreds of reconnection sites at distances of 50–100 RJ ${\mathrm{R}}_{J}$ from magnetic field signatures.

Jovian High‐Latitude Ionospheric Ions: Juno In Situ Observations
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The low‐altitude, high‐velocity trajectory of the Juno spacecraft enables the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment to make the first in situ observations of the high‐latitude ionospheric plasma. Ions are observed to energies below 1 eV.

Evidence for low density holes in Jupiter’s ionosphere
Nature Communications, 2019 Intense electromagnetic impulses induced by Jupiter’s lightning can produce both low-frequency dispersed whistler emissions and non-dispersed radio pulses. Here, the authors show Jupiter dispersed pulses associated with Jovian lightning that are evidence
