Jovian magnetic models and the polarization angle of Jovian decimetric radiation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1981
A comparative study of the direction of linear polarization of Jovian decimetric (synchrotron) radiation as measured astronomically and as determined from a model of the inner Jovian magnetosphere is discussed. It is noted that the model depicts the radiation as coming from rings of relativistic electrons in the Jovimagnetic equator at varying radial ...

The Jovian auroral oval [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2001
Jupiter's aurora shows, among other features, a persistent, continuous oval of luminosity that encircles each magnetic pole and maps along magnetic field lines to the middle magnetosphere (r ≈ 30 Rj). This auroral oval is interpreted here as the ionospheric footprint of the upward Birkeland (magnetic field aligned) current that enforces partial ...

Utilization of Solar Gravity Perturbation in Moon-Aided Jovian Capture

open access: yesSpace: Science & Technology
This paper presents a fuel-saving Jovian capture approach utilizing solar gravity perturbation (SGP). A scheme of utilizing SGP with prograde arrivals is proposed, enabling the combination of SGP utilization with multiple-moon-aided Jovian capture.

Plasma in the Jovian magnetosphere [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 1976
The plasma in Jupiter's ionosphere is collisionless above a certain level. In the outer magnetosphere, where the rotational force dominates the gravitational force, the collisionless plasma has a beamlike distribution and gives rise to a two-stream instability. This leads to trapping of plasma in the centrifugally dominated region of the magnetosphere.

Direction‐finding measurements of Jovian low‐frequency radio components by Juno near Perijove 1

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2017
With the aid of the radio and plasma wave (Waves) instrument on board the Juno spacecraft, the first scientific close encounter to Jupiter (Perijove 1) of Juno led to an opportunity to perform direction‐finding measurements of the intense Jovian ...

Io’s SO2 and NaCl Wind Fields from ALMA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present spatially resolved measurements of SO _2 and NaCl winds on Io at several unique points in its orbit: before and after eclipse and at maximum eastern and western elongation.

Evidence for low density holes in Jupiter’s ionosphere

open access: yesNature 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
