Dayside transient phenomena and their impact on the magnetosphere and ionosphere

H Zhang, Q Zong, H Connor, P Delamere… - Space Science …, 2022 - Springer
Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux
transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock …

Kelvin Helmholtz instability in planetary magnetospheres

JR Johnson, S Wing, PA Delamere - Space Science Reviews, 2014 - Springer
Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at
magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary …

Flow of mass and energy in the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn

F Bagenal, PA Delamere - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library

ionosphere coupling currents on 31 Cassini passes across Saturn's southern postmidnight …

Driving Saturn's magnetospheric periodicities from the upper atmosphere/ionosphere

X Jia, MG Kivelson, TI Gombosi - Journal of Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Saturn's magnetospheric structure and the intensity of radio frequency emissions from its
immediate surroundings are modulated at close to the planet's rotation period. Analogous …

Auroral processes at the giant planets: Energy deposition, emission mechanisms, morphology and spectra

SV Badman, G Branduardi-Raymont, M Galand… - Space Science …, 2015 - Springer
The ionospheric response to auroral precipitation at the giant planets is reviewed, using
models and observations. The emission processes for aurorae at radio, infrared, visible …

Magnetic flux circulation in the rotationally driven giant magnetospheres

PA Delamere, A Otto, X Ma, F Bagenal… - Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The giant‐planet magnetodiscs are shaped by the radial transport of plasma originating in
the inner magnetosphere. Magnetic flux transport is a key aspect of the stretched magnetic …

The importance of plasma β conditions for magnetic reconnection at Saturn's magnetopause

A Masters, JP Eastwood, M Swisdak… - Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Magnetic reconnection is an important process that occurs at the magnetopause boundary
of Earth's magnetosphere because it leads to transport of solar wind energy into the system …
