Ganymede's Radiation Cavity and Radiation Belts
Abstract While planetary radiation belts are all embedded within the low energy solar wind, Ganymede is in the unique situation of being surrounded by the energetic particles of Jupiter's magnetosphere. Here we study Ganymede's environment based the recent flyby of Juno, as well as through reanalysis of past measurements from the ...

Nonstorm time dynamics of electron radiation belts observed by the Van Allen Probes [PDF]
Storm time electron radiation belt dynamics have been widely investigated for many years. Here we present a rarely reported nonstorm time event of electron radiation belt evolution observed by the Van Allen Probes during 21-24 February 2013.

Survey of ELF-VLF plasma waves in outer radiation belt observed by Cluster STAFF-SA experiment [PDF]
Various types of plasma waves have profound effects on acceleration and scattering of radiation belt particles. For the purposes of radiation belt modeling it is necessary to know statistical distributions of plasma wave parameters.

Prompt energization of relativistic and highly relativistic electrons during a substorm interval: Van Allen Probes observations [PDF]
On 17 March 2013, a large magnetic storm significantly depleted the multi-MeV radiation belt. We present multi-instrument observations from the Van Allen Probes spacecraft Radiation Belt Storm Probe A and Radiation Belt Storm Probe B at ~6 Re in the ...

A density-temperature description of the outer electron radiation belt during geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Bi-Maxwellian fits are made to energetic-electron flux measurements from seven satellites in geosynchronous orbit, yielding a number density (n) and temperature (T) description of the outer electron radiation belt.

Modeling inward diffusion and slow decay of energetic electrons in the Earth\u27s outer radiation belt [PDF]
A new 3-D diffusion code is used to investigate the inward intrusion and slow decay of energetic radiation belt electrons (\u3e0.5 MeV) observed by the Van Allen Probes during a 10 day quiet period on March 2013.

Research advances in the data assimilative modeling of the Earth's radiation belt electrons
The Earth's radiation belts are regions where high-energy charged particles congregate in near-Earth space. Given that high-energy particles in the radiation belts pose a severe threat to the safety of spacecraft in orbit and astronauts, it is of vital ...
