Water‐group pickup ions from Europa‐genic neutrals orbiting Jupiter

JR Szalay, HT Smith, EJ Zirnstein… - Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Water‐group gas continuously escapes from Jupiter's icy moons to form co‐orbiting
populations of particles or neutral toroidal clouds. These clouds provide insights into their …

Alfvénic fluctuations associated with Jupiter's auroral emissions

DJ Gershman, JEP Connerney… - Geophysical …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The Alfvén wave mode transmits field‐aligned currents and large‐scale turbulence
throughout Jupiter's magnetosphere. Magnetometer data from the Juno spacecraft have …

Kinetic simulations of electron acceleration by dispersive scale Alfvén waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere

PA Damiano, PA Delamere, B Stauffer… - Geophysical …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Electron acceleration by dispersive scale Alfvén waves at Jupiter is investigated using a
Gyrofluid‐Kinetic‐Electron model. Specifically, the simulations consider the propagation of …

On asymmetry of magnetic activity and plasma flow temperature in Jupiter's magnetosphere

V Kaminker - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Discs of plasma around giant planets are natural laboratories that contain within
mechanisms of transferring and keeping energy into the plasma and magnetic field system …

Evidence of Alfvénic Activity in Jupiter's Mid‐To‐High Latitude Magnetosphere

CTS Lorch, LC Ray, RJ Wilson… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Using a combination of Juno magnetometer and plasma data, we show evidence of Alfvénic
turbulence within the mid‐to‐high latitude magnetosphere with sufficient conditions to trigger …

Europa modifies Jupiter's plasma sheet

JR Szalay, J Saur, DJ McComas… - Geophysical …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Jupiter's plasma sheet has been understood to be primarily composed of Io‐genic sulfur and
oxygen, along with protons at lower mass density. These ions move radially away from …

Radial and vertical structures of plasma disk in Jupiter's middle magnetosphere

JZ Wang, F Bagenal, RJ Wilson… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The Juno mission flew through the plasma disk near the equator in Jupiter's magnetosphere
frequently. We identify 274 plasma disk crossings of Juno between 10 and 40 RJ from PJ5 to …

Kelvin–Helmholtz‐Related Turbulent Heating at Saturn's Magnetopause Boundary

PA Delamere, CS Ng, PA Damiano… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
One of the grand challenge problems of the giant planet magnetospheres is the issue of
nonadiabatic plasma heating. Simple turbulent heating models consider the energy cascade …

Turbulent power theory in heavy-ion plasma of a Jovian magnetosphere

V Kaminker - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
Observations from various missions to Jupiter and Saturn showed that temperature of heavy-
ion plasma contained in expanding discs around planets is increasing with radial distance …

Turbulence in the Magnetospheres of the Outer Planets

J Saur - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 - frontiersin.org
The magnetospheres of the outer planets exhibit turbulent phenomena in an environment
which is qualitatively different compared to the solar wind or the interstellar medium. The key …
