Planetary magnetospheres

Reviews of Geophysics, 1975
The study of extraterrestrial planetary magnetospheres during the past 4 years has experienced a dramatic growth in the availability of observational data and a concomitant growth in the level of scientific interest comparable to the experience of the early 1960's in the study of earth's magnetosphere. Owing in large part to the success of space probes

Planetary magnetospheres

Reviews of Geophysics, 1979
Although the Jupiter encounters of Pioneers 10 and 11 occurred in the previous quadrennium, the flood of new information that they released launched a wave of publications that crested in the present quadrennium. For completeness all of the magnetospheric literature relating to the two encounters is included in the bibliography. The present quadrennium

Plasma Motions in Planetary Magnetospheres

Science, 1991
Before direct exploration by spacecraft, Jupiter was the only planet other than Earth that was known to have a magnetic field, as revealed by its nonthermal radio emissions. The term "magnetosphere" did not exist because there was no clear concept of such an entity.

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

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.

Particle acceleration in planetary magnetospheres

Nature, 1974
MEASUREMENTS 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 ...

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 ...

Dust in planetary magnetospheres

Advances in Space Research, 1993
Abstract 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,
