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.

Earth Radiation Belts

2006
The effects induced by the space environment on space vehicles and astronauts no longer need to be demonstrated. The nature of this environment varies greatly between low orbits and higher orbits such as the geostationary orbit and beyond. In this chapter, we attempt to describe the space environment relative to ionizing particles.

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

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.

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?

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.

Toward understanding radiation belt dynamics, nuclear explosion-produced artificial belts, and active radiation belt remediation: Producing a radiation belt data assimilation model

2005
The space radiation environment presents serious challenges to spacecraft design and operations: adding costs or compromising capability. Our understanding of radiation belt dynamics has changed dramatically as a result of new observations. Relativistic electron fluxes change rapidly, on time scales less than a day, in response to geomagnetic activity.

Galactic Radiation Belts.

1982
Abstract : This report suggests that electrons trapped in a dipolar field can reproduce some of the observed distributions of emission from extended extragalactic radio sources if the electron pitch-angle distributions are sufficiently anisotropic.

Jupiter's radiation belts

Space Science Reviews, 1979
The recent close encounters of Pioneer-10 (December 1973) and Pioneer-11 (December 1974) with the planet Jupiter provided the first in situ observations of zenomagnetically trapped particle radiation. Such observations represented a major advance in planetary research.
