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,

Sliding Contacts in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]
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 ...

Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars [PDF]
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.

Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres [PDF]
Abstract In this article we aim to highlight the problems related to the structure and stability of the comparatively thin current sheets that were relatively recently discovered by space missions in the magnetospheres of the Earth and planets, as well as in the solar wind. These magnetoplasma structures are universal in collisionless

Nonthermal plasma density redistribution in planetary magnetospheres due to ion-cyclotron waves
Context. Planetary magnetospheres throughout the Solar System exhibit diverse plasma environments in which ultra-low-frequency pulsations can induce nonlinear ponderomotive effects.

Asymmetric distribution of reconnection jet fronts in the Jovian nightside magnetosphere [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection plays important roles in mass transport and energy conversion in planetary magnetospheres. It is considered that transient reconnection causes localized auroral arcs or spots in the Jovian magnetosphere, by analogy to the case in ...

Recent advances in giant planetary space environments
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 ...

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'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

Dispersion and Focusing of Cosmic Rays in Magnetospheres [PDF]
imulating the irradiation of planetary atmospheres by cosmic ray particles requires, among others, the ability to understand and to quantify the interactions of charged particles with planetary magnetic fields.
