Multiscale coupling in planetary magnetospheres

Advances in Space Research, 2002
Abstract Processes in planetary magnetospheres occur on a variety of scales. On the largest scales are the plasma circulations induced in the magnetospheric plasma externally by the solar wind interaction or internally by processes such as massloading of the jovian magnetosphere by the moon Io.

Plasma waves in planetary magnetospheres

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
The studies of magnetospheric plasma waves in the 1979–1982 quadrennium have included not only intensive studies of plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere but also, for the first time, in situ observations and detailed analyses of plasma waves in the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn.

Source‐surface modeling of planetary magnetospheres

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996
In the source‐surface approach to field modeling, the magnetosphere is divided conceptually into inner and outer regions (called S and T) by prescribing a cross‐magnetospheric surface that marks the tail entrance. The source surface thus consists of the prescribed magnetopause and the prescribed tail‐entrance surface.

Kelvin Helmholtz Instability in Planetary Magnetospheres

Space Science Reviews, 2014
Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary layer, which governs the transport of mass, momentum, and energy across the boundary.

Particle acceleration in planetary magnetospheres

Nature, 1974
MEASUREMENTS of energetic particle fluxes in space1,2 have stimulated interest in the problem of particle acceleration inside planetary magnetospheres. Suggestions that terrestrial auroral (keV) electron precipitation is associated with transient space charge effects3, have been discarded, largely because the parallel (plasma) electrical conductivity ...

The dynamics of planetary magnetospheres

Planetary and Space Science, 2001
Abstract Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the moon, Ganymede, have presently-active internal dynamos while Venus, Mars, at least two of the Galilean moons, the Earth's moon, comets and asteroids do not. These active dynamos produce magnetic fields that have sufficient strength to stand off the pressure of the exterior plasma ...

New horizons in planetary magnetospheres

Advances in Space Research, 2006
Abstract The magnetospheres of Mercury, the Earth and Jupiter provide an especially good comparison of the processes that control the behavior of magnetospheres. The Mercurian magnetosphere is the smallest. Its field lines are anchored in the electrically conducting interior of Mercury and not in a conducting ionosphere.

Energetic Particles from Planetary Magnetospheres

2016
It was not until the dawn of the space age that we discovered that the Earth’s magnetosphere was full of energetic particles. It was therefore reasonable to suppose that all planets with a strong magnetic field would have trapped energetic particles within their magnetosphere.

Dust waves in rotating planetary magnetospheres

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
Low frequency electrostatic drift and acoustic waves are studied in rotating dusty plasmas. Linear dispersion relation is found. It is pointed out that rotation of the planet can introduce dust drift waves through Coriolis force in the planetary magnetospheres. This mode can couple with dust acoustic mode. Coriolis force effect may give rise to dipolar

Discrete Electromagnetic Emissions in Planetary Magnetospheres

2013
The present state of knowledge and observations of discrete electromagnetic emissions detected in the magnetospheres of earth and the outer planets are reviewed. The history of ground observations and satellite observations is included. Active experiments studying wave propagation, wave-wave and wave-particle interactions, and the generation and ...
