Magnetotail theory

Space Science Reviews, 1986
This paper reviews present theory of the structure and the dynamics of the Earth's magnetotail. Since dynamical phenomena occur on different length and time-scales it seems appropriate to begin with comments on plasma models. Then it is argued that any successful theory of the rapid dynamic processes observed in the magnetotail requires a detailed ...

The Martian magnetotail

Advances in Space Research, 1986
Abstract There is evidence of a strong influence of an atmospheric (cometary) interaction on the Martian tail formation: small total magnetic flux in the tail, the existence of plasma flow of apparently planetary origin, interplanetary magnetic field control of magnetic field orientation in the tail and other evidence.

Plasmoids in Saturn's magnetotail

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2008
Plasmoids in Saturn's magnetotail are identified by a reversal (northward turning) of the normally southward component of the magnetic field across the tail current sheet. Three large plasmoids have been identified by the Cassini magnetometer, one near 0300 local time at a planet‐centered distance of 44 RS and two near midnight at 48–49 RS.

The venus magnetotail

Advances in Space Research, 1986
The magnetic structure of the Venus magnetotail has been measured using 9 seasons of Pioneer Venus measurements in the distant wake region. The magnetotail region is about 4 Venus radii wide and about 3.2 Venus radii high at 12 Venus radii behind the planet. The tail contains about 2.3 Megawebers of flux, much of which closes across the tail. The J x B
