Reconnection in planetary magnetospheres
Advances in Space Research, 2000Current 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 ...

Particle acceleration in planetary magnetospheres
Nature, 1974MEASUREMENTS 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 ...

Dust in planetary magnetospheres
Advances in Space Research, 1993Abstract 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,

Dust waves in rotating planetary magnetospheres
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005Low 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

ULF waves in planetary magnetospheres
2006Ultra-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 ...

Planetary magnetospheres: 1991?1993
Surveys in Geophysics, 1995This 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 ...

Source‐surface modeling of planetary magnetospheres
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996In 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.

Plasma waves in planetary magnetospheres
Reviews of Geophysics, 1983The 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.

Multiscale coupling in planetary magnetospheres
Advances in Space Research, 2002Abstract 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.
