Radiation Belts of Jupiter

Science, 1974
Pioneer 10 counted relativistic electrons throughout the magnetosphere of Jupiter, with the greatest fluxes being inside 20 Jupiter radii. The peak flux of electrons with energy greater than 50 million electron volts was 1.3 × 10 7 per square centimeter per second at the innermost penetration of the radiation belts.

Radiation Belts of Jupiter

Science, 1973
Predictions of Jupiter's electron and proton radiation belts are based mainly on decimeter observations of 1966 and 1968. Extensive calculations modeling radial diffusion of particles inward from the solar wind and electron synchrotron radiation are used to relate the predictions and observations.

The radiation belts

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 1994
Abstract The Earth's radiation belts, formed by energetic electrons and ions (principally protons) trapped in the Earth's quasi-dipolar field, are reviewed. The magnitudes of particle energies and fluxes encountered make this a very severe environment in which to conduct space missions.

The Electron Radiation Belt

Space Science Reviews, 2001
Electron radiation belts can change dramatically in a few seconds or slowly over years. Important issues in understanding such changes are: (1) What is the source of electrons in the radiation belts? (2) How important is radial diffusion compared to other radial transport mechanisms?

Radiation Belt Dynamics

2015
Abstract : The Earths inner and outer radiation belts, comprising energetic electrons and protons, pose a hazard to DoD spacecraft. Air ForceResearch Laboratory (AFRL) has an ongoing research effort to model and forecast the configurations of the belts, and to develop protective technologies for spacecraft.

Jupiter's radiation belts

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1974
Fluxes of electrons and protons in Jupiter's radiation belts are calculated with the source (radial diffusion inward from the solar wind) and the loss (synchroton radiation). The calculations are tested against the measured radio-wave wavelength distribution, the radio-wave distribution with distance from Jupiter, and the degree of polarization of ...

Jupiter's radiation belts

Icarus, 1973
A model for the production and loss of energetic electrons in Jupiter's radiation belt is presented. It is postulated that the electrons originate in the solar wind and are diffused in toward the planet by perturbations which violate the particles' third adiabatic invariant.
