Forecasting the Radiation Belts in Europe [PDF]
Space Weather, 2012 Weather forecasting has expanded to space weather. As of 1 March 2012, satellite operators and the general public will be able to obtain forecasts of the Earth’s radiation belts, thanks to the SPACECAST project. The opening of the first European system to forecast Earth’s radiation belts, part of the SPACECAST project, is funded by the European Union ...

Relativistic surfatron process for Landau resonant electrons in radiation belts [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014 Recent theoretical studies of the nonlinear wave-particle interactions for relativistic particles have shown that Landau resonant orbits could be efficiently accelerated along the mean background magnetic field for propagation angles θ in close proximity

A source of very energetic oxygen located in Jupiter's inner radiation belts. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2022 Jupiter hosts the most hazardous radiation belts of our solar system that, besides electrons and protons, trap an undetermined mix of heavy ions. The details of this mix are critical to resolve because they can reveal the role of Jupiter’s moons relative

The in-situ exploration of Jupiter’s radiation belts [PDF]
Experimental Astronomy, 2021 AbstractJupiter has the most complex and energetic radiation belts in our Solar System and one of the most challenging space environments to measure and characterize in-depth. Their hazardous environment is also a reason why so many spacecraft avoid flying directly through their most intense regions, thus explaining how Jupiter’s radiation belts have ...
