Dynamics of the Jovian magnetotail

, 2006
The Jupiter orbiting spacecraft Galileo has provided evidence that the Jovian magnetotail is subject to a periodic process with a typical timescale of several days by which the Jovian system is presumably releasing its excess iogenic mass. This process is analyzed using data returned from the Energetic Particles Detector (EPD), the magnetometer and ...

Dialogue on the magnetotail

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
During the International Magnetospheric Study (IMS), a vast data set was acquired which is presently being brought to bear on solving some of the outstanding questions regarding magnetospheric dynamics. The data involve plasma and field parameters measured on satellites both in the magnetosphere and in the interplanetary medium, as well as ground‐based

Centrifugal trapping in the magnetotail

Annales Geophysicae, 1995
Abstract. Particles leaving the neutral sheet in the distant magnetotail at times display adiabatic trajectory sequences characterized by an inflection toward the equator and subsequent mirroring in its vicinity. We demonstrate that this low-latitude mirroring results primarily from a centrifugal deceleration due to the fast direction-changing E×B ...

Magnetotail flux ropes

Geophysical Research Letters, 1984
ISEE‐3 magnetometer observations are presented that are consistant with flux ropes within the magnetotail. Three instances have been found. The flux ropes are identified by a strong magnetic field in their core, a bipolar magnetic field signature, and a double peaked field signature indicative of an off‐center crossing.

On Spontaneous Reconnection in the Earth's Magnetotail

Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity, 1991
The release of energy stored in the Earth's magnetotail is a major feature of the coupling between solar wind and magnetosphere. Spontaneous reconnection due to tearing mode instability in the magnetotail provides an appropriate mechanism, explaining energy release, delays the response to changes in the interplanetary medium, non stationary features of

Collisionless reconnection in Jupiter's magnetotail

Geophysical Research Letters, 1991
We present the first quantitative study of collisionless reconnection in Jupiter's magnetotail. Recently it has been shown that collisionless reconnection can occur in the Earth's magnetotail quasi‐neutral sheet when the electrons are subject to chaotic pitch angle diffusion.
