The global energy budget is pivotal to understanding planetary evolution and climate
behaviors. Assessing the energy budget of giant planets, particularly those with large …

The ionosphere plays a critical role in many electromagnetics applications, ranging from
long-distance communications to geolocation and satellite communications. As a result, it is …

Detailed observations of the solar system planets reveal a wide variety of local atmospheric
conditions. Astronomical observations have revealed a variety of extrasolar planets none of …

Eleven transient bright flashes were detected in Jupiter's atmosphere using the ultraviolet
spectrograph instrument on the Juno spacecraft. These bright flashes are only observed in a …

Radio and X-ray emission from brown dwarfs (BDs) suggest that an ionized gas and a
magnetic field with a sufficient flux density must be present. We perform a reference study for …

Our ability to observe extraterrestrial lightning is limited by our detection techniques, which
rest mostly on our understanding of terrestrial lightning. However, gas discharge physics …

In this work, we develop two spectroscopic diagnostic methods to derive the peak reduced
electric field in transient luminous events (TLEs) from their optical signals. These methods …

Halos and elves are transient luminous events produced in the lower ionosphere as a
consequence of lightning‐driven electromagnetic fields. These events can influence the …

The first observation of possible transient luminous events (TLEs) on Jupiter was reported
recently. Whereas initiation of elves on Jupiter has been theoretically studied before, the …

During the Juno perijove explorations from 27 August 2016 through 1 September 2017,
strong electromagnetic impulses induced by Jupiter lightning were detected by the …
