The current understanding of the plasma, magnetic field, and plasma wave characteristics of the near and distant Jovian magnetotail is discussed. The properties of these two regions are compared, with particular emphasis given to the data on the distant tail obtained by Voyager 2.

Voyager 2 observations have shown that Uranus possesses a well‐developed bipolar magnetotail similar in certain characteristics to that of Earth, in spite of an anomalously large tilt of the planetary magnetic dipole to the rotation axis at Uranus. The intensity of the magnetic field in the tail lobes decreases with increasing distance down the tail ...

<p>Magnetic reconnection leads to fast streaming of electrons and ions away from the reconnection site. We have used an implicit particle-in-cell simulation (iPic3D) embedded within a global MHD simulation of the solar wind and magnetosphere interaction to investigate the evolution of electrons and ion flows in the magnetotail ...

Plasmas in the Earth’s Magnetotail
Space Science Reviews, 1985An overview of the general characteristics of plasmas within the Earth’s magnetotail and its environs is presented. Present knowledge of the plasmas within these regions as gained via in situ measurements provides the general theme, although observations of magnetic fields, energetic particles and plasma waves are included in the discussion.

The tail plays a very active and important role in substorms. Magmetic flux eroded from the dayside magnetosphere is stored here. As more and more flux is transported to the magnetotail and stored, the boundary flares more, the field strength in the tail increases, and the currents strengthen and move closer to the earth.

The Earth's Dynamic Magnetotail
Space Science Reviews, 2000Geomagnetic field lines that are stretched on the nightside of the Earth due to reconnection with the interplanetary magnetic field constitute the Earth's magnetotail. The magnetotail is a dynamic entity where energy imparted from the solar wind is stored and then released to generate disturbance phenomena such as substorms. This paper gives an updated

Particle chaos in the Earth’s magnetotail
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 1992Nonlinear particle dynamics is studied both in current sheets and near neutral lines. The parameter governing particle chaos in a current sheet with a constant normal component, Bn, is κ=(Rmin/ρmax)1/2, where Rmin is the minimum field line radius of curvature and ρmax is the maximum gyroradius.

Reconnection in the magnetotail
Space Science Reviews, 1979The ion tearing mode is considered as the only mechanism capable of initiating reconnection processes in the equilibrium plasma sheet whose scale considerably exceeds the ion Larmor radius. The paper gives a brief review of linear theory of the tearing mode instability that allows the onset of its development to be determined.

Energetic Particles in the Jovian Magnetotail
Science, 2007When the solar wind hits Jupiter's magnetic field, it creates a long magnetotail trailing behind the planet that channels material out of the Jupiter system. The New Horizons spacecraft traversed the length of the jovian magnetotail to >2500 jovian radii ( R J ; 1 R J

Relaxation of magnetotail plasmas
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1987A quasi‐thermodynamic model is presented for the relaxation of magnetotail plasmas during substorms, followed by quiet times. It is proposed that the plasma relaxes to a state of low‐potential energy subject to a small number of global constraints.
