Charged dust in the outer planetary magnetospheres

The Moon and the Planets, 1981
Interplanetary dust grains entering the Jovian plasmasphere become charged, and those in a certain size range get magneto-gravitationally trapped in the corotating plasmasphere. The trajectories of such dust grains intersect the orbits of one or more of the Galilean satellites.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

The Solar Wind Interaction with Planetary Magnetospheres

2005
The solar wind interaction with planetary magnetospheres is a multifarious topic of which our understanding continues to grow as we obtain more detailed observations and more capable numerical codes. We attempt to explain how the system functions by examining the output of models of increasing sophistication.

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.
