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 ...

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.

New horizons in planetary magnetospheres
Advances in Space Research, 2006Abstract 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.

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 ...

Energization of charged particles in planetary magnetospheres
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2007A model is presented to describe the energiza- tion of charged particles in planetary magnetospheres. The model is based on the stochastic acceleration produced by a random electric field that is induced by the magnetic field fluctuations measured within the magnetospheres.

Kelvin Helmholtz Instability in Planetary Magnetospheres
Space Science Reviews, 2014Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary layer, which governs the transport of mass, momentum, and energy across the boundary.

The Solar Wind Interaction with Planetary Magnetospheres
2005The 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.

Solar Wind and planetary magnetospheres
2015Solar Wind interacts with solar system objects by exchanging momentum and energy. This transfer is particularly effective in the case of weakly magnetized bodies (Mars, Venus and comets) and small magnetosphere (Mercury).This interaction contributes to the erosion of the gaseous envelop and to the atmospheric dynamic and has therefore an important ...

Planetary Magnetospheres: The in Situ Astrophysical Laboratories
1969Investigation by spacecraft of several parts of the solar system has revealed a diverse variety of plasma processes, ranging from the relatively steady state conditions in the solar wind to the explosive release of large amounts of energy observed to occur in solar flares, and to the dynamic processes taking place within the magnetospheres of the Earth

Entry of dust particles into planetary magnetospheres
Advances in Space Research, 1984Abstract While interplanetary dust constitutes a primary source of cosmic particulate matter in planetary magnetospheres, the debris produced by its impact with small satellites and ring material provides an important secondary source. Internal processes, such as volcanic activity, particularly in the smaller satellites, could result in a third ...
