Captured dust in planetary magnetospheres

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1998
Interplanetary and interstellar dust particles acquire a positive charge in the solar wind and can be strongly influenced by the Lorentz force as they pass through planetary magnetospheres. There, the charge on the particles changes rapidly when they pass through different plasma environments.

Modeling planetary magnetospheres

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
There has been a marked change in the character of magnetospheric modeling during the past quadrennium. In earlier studies, the emphasis was on describing the average magnetospheric properties. These descriptive models were empirical or semiempirical and provided a static picture of the magnetospheric configuration.

Plasma waves in planetary magnetospheres

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1991
With the completion of the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune we have now surveyed the plasma wave spectra of five planetary magnetospheres: Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Here we provide a first general comparison of the various plasma wave modes at each of the planets with the use of a common format for displaying the spectra. The general

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 ...

ULF waves in planetary magnetospheres

2006
Ultra-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 ...

The theory of radio windows in planetary magnetospheres

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1987
The theory of radio windows given in two previous papers for a stratified cold plasma is extended to apply in a warm plasma. It is used to investigate one suggested mechanism for the production of non-thermal continuum radiation in magnetospheric cavities.

Current Systems in Planetary Magnetospheres and Ionospheres

Space Science Reviews, 2010
The interaction of planets with the solar wind produces a diversity of current systems, yet these can be classified into only a few different types, which include ionospheric currents, currents carried by magnetospheric boundaries like the magnetopause or ionopause, magnetotail currents, and currents flowing inside the magnetospheres, like ring ...

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.

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
