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 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.

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 ...

<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 ...

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.

The response of the magnetotail to changes in the IMF orientation: The magnetotail's long memory
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part C: Solar, Terrestrial & Planetary Science, 1999Abstract We have used a three dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere to investigate the changes which occur in the magnetotail when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) changes orientation.

The Magnetosheath and Magnetotail of Venus
Space Science Reviews, 1991We describe the observational history and assess the current understanding of the magnetosheath and magnetotail of Venus, stressing recent developments. We make recommendations for research that can be done using existing observations, as well as desirable trajectory and instrumentation characteristics for future spacecraft missions.

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

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

Undoubtedly, the most lively manifestation of the dynamic nature of the earth’s magnetosphere is the auroral break-up. The magnetospheric phenomena that are associated with this explosive release of energy have been the aim of intense research efforts in recent years, and the term magnetospheric substorm has been introduced to designate these phenomena
