The magnetotail of Uranus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1987
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 ...

The magnetotail and substorms

Space Science Reviews, 1973
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.

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 ...

Plasmas in the Earth’s Magnetotail

Space Science Reviews, 1985
An 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.

Flows in the Magnetotail

2020
<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 ...

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.

Energetic Particles in the Jovian Magnetotail

Science, 2007
When 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

The Jovian magnetotail

Advances in Space Research, 1986
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.

Particle chaos in the Earth’s magnetotail

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 1992
Nonlinear 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.
