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.

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.

A theory of the radiation belt

Planetary and Space Science, 1965
Abstract A theoretical investigation of the properties of a plasma in the vicinity of a magnetic dipole is made, and the conditions for stability of the plasma derived and applied to the Earth's radiation belt. During solar flares oscillations may be set up in the plasma, and the frequency of such oscillation is calculated.

The Jovian Radiation Belt

1974
Jupiter is a copious source of radiowaves having a wavelength of 3–75 cm. The radiation is 20% or so linearly polarized perpendicular to the planet rotation axis, does not vary much in intensity over the entire range of observed frequencies, and changes slowly in intensity over a time interval of the order of a few years.

Radiation Belts of Jupiter: A Second Look

Science, 1975
The outbound leg of the Pioneer 11 Jupiter flyby explored a region farther from the equator than that traversed by Pioneer 10, and the new data require modification or augmentation of the magnetodisk model based on the Pioneer 10 flyby. The inner moons of Jupiter are sinks of energetic particles and sometimes sources.

Earth's radiation belts

Reviews of Geophysics, 1982
This paper reviews the status of radiation belt science at the close of the data acquisition phase (1976–1979) of the International Magnetospheric Study. The purpose is to place recent discoveries in context with respect to long‐standing problems and to indicate possible directions for future research in radiation belt physics.

Radiation Belts of the Earth

2003
For the low altitude region near the Earth (250-1000 km), where the human activity, both commercial as well as scientific, has greatly increased over the last decades, it is particularly important to accurately model the radiation environment. As we briefly noted in Chapter 1, measurements carried out since the 1950s have shown the existence of ...

Galactic radiation belts

Nature, 1979
Several decades of observations have failed to resolve the problem of the interpretation of extended extragalactic radio sources1,2. Most current models invoke the ejection of pairs of plasmoids or relativistic electron beams from the parent elliptical galaxy by various mechanisms3–5. As these theories generally predict the relative orientations of the

The radiation belts of Jupiter

Icarus, 1974
The cloud of relativistic electrons which forms the Jupiter radiation belts at a distance of a few Jovian radii from the planet is considered. The inner belt is shown to consist of electrons with about three times the energy of those in the outer zone, and to have an equatorial density which is about one half the peak density in the outer zone.
