Particle acceleration in the magnetotail and aurora

J Birn, AV Artemyev, DN Baker, M Echim… - Space science …, 2012 - Springer
This paper deals with acceleration processes in the magnetotail and the processes that
enhance particle precipitation from the tail into the ionosphere through electric fields in the …

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 …

Response of Jupiter's and Saturn's auroral activity to the solar wind

JT Clarke, J Nichols, JC Gérard… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
While the terrestrial aurorae are known to be driven primarily by the interaction of the Earth's
magnetosphere with the solar wind, there is considerable evidence that auroral emissions …

AA Vidotto, R Fares, M Jardine… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Exoplanets in extremely close-in orbits are immersed in a local interplanetary medium (ie
the stellar wind) much denser than the local conditions encountered around the Solar …

Thirty years of astronomy

S Miller, J Tennyson, TR Geballe, T Stallard - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
This review covers the work of the three decades since the first spectroscopic identification
of the H 3+ molecular ion outside of the laboratory in 1988, in the auroral atmosphere of the …

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 …

Magnetospheric configuration and dynamics of Saturn's magnetosphere: A global MHD simulation

X Jia, KC Hansen, TI Gombosi… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the solar wind interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere by using a global
magnetohydrodynamic simulation driven by an idealized time‐varying solar wind input that …

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

SV Badman, G Branduardi-Raymont, M Galand… - Space Science …, 2015 - Springer

models and observations. The emission processes for aurorae at radio, infrared, visible …

Origin of Saturn's aurora: Simultaneous observations by Cassini and the Hubble Space Telescope

EJ Bunce, CS Arridge, JT Clarke… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Outer planet auroras have been imaged for more than a decade, yet understanding their
physical origin requires simultaneous remote and in situ observations. The first such …

Cassini observations of a Kelvin‐Helmholtz vortex in Saturn's outer magnetosphere

A Masters, N Achilleos, MG Kivelson… - Journal of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
