Planetary magnetospheres

Reviews of Geophysics, 1979
Although the Jupiter encounters of Pioneers 10 and 11 occurred in the previous quadrennium, the flood of new information that they released launched a wave of publications that crested in the present quadrennium. For completeness all of the magnetospheric literature relating to the two encounters is included in the bibliography. The present quadrennium

Plasma Motions in Planetary Magnetospheres

Science, 1991
Before direct exploration by spacecraft, Jupiter was the only planet other than Earth that was known to have a magnetic field, as revealed by its nonthermal radio emissions. The term "magnetosphere" did not exist because there was no clear concept of such an entity.

Modeling planetary magnetospheres

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
There has been a marked change in the character of magnetospheric modeling during the past quadrennium. In earlier studies, the emphasis was on describing the average magnetospheric properties. These descriptive models were empirical or semiempirical and provided a static picture of the magnetospheric configuration.

Dust in planetary magnetospheres

Advances in Space Research, 1993
Abstract Dust particles immersed in the magnetized plasma environment of planetary magnetospheres collect electrostatic charges. The expected charges are modest and only micron and smaller grains will be significantly perturbed by the resulting electrodynamic forces. These electrodynamic perturbations compete with other processes - radiation pressure,

Captured dust in planetary magnetospheres

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1998
Interplanetary and interstellar dust particles acquire a positive charge in the solar wind and can be strongly influenced by the Lorentz force as they pass through planetary magnetospheres. There, the charge on the particles changes rapidly when they pass through different plasma environments.

Planetary Ionospheres and Magnetospheres

2008
We begin this chapter with a detailed review of the ionization and recombination processes in a planetary ionosphere, as exemplified by the ionosphere we know the most about, that of the Earth. We then extend the discussion to the ionospheres of Mars and Venus, and examine atmospheric loss mechanisms.

Plasma waves in planetary magnetospheres

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1991
With the completion of the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune we have now surveyed the plasma wave spectra of five planetary magnetospheres: Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Here we provide a first general comparison of the various plasma wave modes at each of the planets with the use of a common format for displaying the spectra. The general

Reconnection in planetary magnetospheres

Advances in Space Research, 2000
Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres that lie between regions of "oppositely-directed" magnetic field are either magnetopause-like, separating plasmas with different properties, or tail-like, separating plasmas of rather similar properties. The magnetopause current sheets generally have a nearly limitless supply of magnetized plasma that can ...

Planetary magnetospheres: 1991?1993

Surveys in Geophysics, 1995
This paper briefly summarizes published work in the field of planetary magnetospheres from 1991 to mid-1993. The 1992 Ulysses fly-by and the proximity of Jupiter for remote sensing have meant that the Jovian magnetosphere has dominated interest in the field, resulting in studies of the interaction of magnetospheric plasma with dust grains as well as ...

ULF waves in planetary magnetospheres

2006
Ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves are messengers in space plasmas. They communicate information about unstable, free-energy-containing plasma configurations, transient phenomena, or obstacles in flowing plasmas; they transport energy between different parts of magnetospheric systems; and they serve as momentum coupling agents between remote regions such ...
