Plasma interactions of exoplanets with their parent star and associated radio emissions

P Zarka - Planetary and Space Science, 2007 - Elsevier
The relatively high contrast between planetary and solar low-frequency radio emissions
suggests that the low-frequency radio range may be well adapted to the direct detection of …

A brief review of ultraviolet auroral emissions on giant planets

D Grodent - Space Science Reviews, 2015 - Springer
The morphologies of the ultraviolet auroral emissions on the giant gas planets, Jupiter and
Saturn, have conveniently been described with combinations of a restricted number of basic …

A simple quantitative model of plasma flows and currents in Saturn's polar ionosphere

SWH Cowley, EJ Bunce… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a simple illustrative axisymmetric model of the plasma flows and currents that
occur in Saturn's polar ionosphere which are due to both internal magnetospheric plasma …

A panchromatic view of brown dwarf aurorae

JS Pineda, G Hallinan, MM Kao - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Stellar coronal activity has been shown to persist into the low-mass star regime, down to late
M-dwarf spectral types. However, there is now an accumulation of evidence suggesting that …
