Planetary magnetospheres

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 1991
La serie de naves espaciales Pionero, Marinero y Viajero nos ha dado a conocer una impresionante variedad de magnetosferas planetarias. Debido a su cercanía, la magnetosfera terrestre es la que mejor entendemos. El viento solar provee parte del plasma y,

Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Mars lacks a global magnetic field, and instead possesses small-scale crustal magnetic fields, making its magnetic environment fundamentally different from intrinsic magnetospheres like those of Earth or Saturn.

Sliding Contacts in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
In the planetary magnetospheres there are specific places connected with velocity breakdown, reconnection, and dynamo processes. Here we pay attention to sliding layers. Sliding layers are formed in the ionosphere, on separatrix surfaces, at the magnetopauses and boundaries of stellar astrospheres, and at the Alfvén radius in the equatorial ...

Recent advances in giant planetary space environments

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评, 2021
Among the eight solar system planets, Jupiter and Saturn are the two most giant planets, which also have the most prominent magnetic moments. Comparing to the Earth dipole magnetic field, the magnetic moment of Saturn is about 600 times larger while ...

Occurrence rate of ultra-low frequency waves in the foreshock of Mercury increases with heliocentric distance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Low frequency waves are ubiquitous in space plasmas. Here, the authors show that the occurrence rate of ultra-low frequency waves associated with backstreaming ions in the Hermean foreshock increases with Mercury’s heliocentric distance.

Juno Magnetometer Observations at Ganymede: Comparisons With a Global Hybrid Simulation and Indications of Magnetopause Reconnection

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
Juno's flyby of Ganymede on 7 June 2021, provides a unique opportunity to explore the moon's magnetosphere. By means of Magnetometer (MAG) observations and a hybrid numerical simulation, we provide a global description of this environment and analyze the

Turbulence in the Magnetospheres of the Outer Planets

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The magnetospheres of the outer planets exhibit turbulent phenomena in an environment which is qualitatively different compared to the solar wind or the interstellar medium.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Global MHD Simulations of Neptune's Magnetosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation has been performed in order to investigate the outer boundaries of Neptune's magnetosphere at the time of Voyager 2's flyby in 1989 and to better understand the dynamics of magnetospheres formed by highly ...

The effects of stellar winds on the magnetospheres and potential habitability of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Context: The principle definition of habitability for exoplanets is whether they can sustain liquid water on their surfaces, i.e. that they orbit within the habitable zone.
