Detecting Magnetospheric Radio Emission from Giant Exoplanets
Abstract As radio astronomy enters a golden age, ground-based observatories are reaching sensitivities capable of unlocking a new and exciting field of exoplanet observation. Radio observation of planetary auroral emission provides unique and complementary insight into planetary science not available via orthodox exoplanet observation ...

Six pieces of evidence against the corotation enforcement theory to explain the main aurora at Jupiter [PDF]
The most remarkable feature of the ultraviolet auroras at Jupiter is the ever present and almost continuous curtain of bright emissions centered on each magnetic pole and called the main emissions.

Cassini in situ observations of long duration magnetic reconnection in Saturn’s magnetotail [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in solar system and astrophysical plasmas, through which stored magnetic energy associated with current sheets is converted into thermal, kinetic and wave energy1, 2, 3, 4.

Jupiter's X-ray and EUV auroras monitored by Chandra, XXM-Newton, and Hisaki satellite [PDF]
Jupiter's X-ray auroral emission in the polar cap region results from particles which have undergone strong field-aligned acceleration into the ionosphere.

Probing discrete auroral arcs by ionospheric tomography [PDF]
Optical observations of 557.7 nm and 630.0 nm emissions from discrete auroral arcs in the post-noon sector have been related to localised field-aligned enhancements in the spatial distribution of E- and F-layer electron density respectively seen in ...

Modulation of NTC frequencies by Pc5 ULF pulsations : experimental test of the generation mechanism and magnetoseismology of the emitting surface [PDF]
Nonthermal continuum (NTC) radiation is believed to be emitted by the conversion of an electrostatic wave into an electromagnetic one, which takes place at the Earth's magnetic equator.

ROME. III. The Arecibo Search for Star–Planet Interactions at 5 GHz
After nearly three decades of discovery, many exoplanetary systems have been studied and characterized in detail with one important exception: exoplanet magnetism.

A Panchromatic View of Brown Dwarf Aurorae [PDF]
Stellar coronal activity has been shown to persist into the low-mass star regime, down to late M-dwarf spectral types. However, there is now an accumulation of evidence suggesting that at the end of the main sequence there is a transition in the nature ...

VLF-LF Radio Bursts Observed at Local Onsets of Magnetospheric Substorms
Observations of VLF hiss narrow-band intensities (5.0±0.2 kHz, 12.0±0.5 kHz, and 50.0±1.0 kHz), horizontal component (H) of the geomagnetic field, and the ionospheric absorption of cosmic radio noises of 30 MHz have been carried out at Syowa Station ...
