[HTML][HTML] Turbulence-driven magnetic reconnection and the magnetic correlation length: Observations from Magnetospheric Multiscale in Earth's magnetosheath

JE Stawarz, JP Eastwood, TD Phan, IL Gingell… - Physics of …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Turbulent plasmas generate a multitude of thin current structures that can be sites for
magnetic reconnection. The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently …

Wave‐particle interaction of Alfvén waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere: Auroral and magnetospheric particle acceleration

J Saur, S Janser, A Schreiner, G Clark… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate spatial and temporal scales at which wave‐particle interaction of Alfvén
waves occurs in Jupiter's magnetosphere. We consider electrons, protons, and oxygen ions …

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 …

MMS observations of the multiscale wave structures and parallel electron heating in the vicinity of the southern exterior cusp

K Nykyri, X Ma, B Burkholder, R Rice… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the physical mechanisms responsible for the cross‐scale energy transport

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-

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 …

Identifying active Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices on Saturn's magnetopause boundary

BL Burkholder, PA Delamere… - Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
For Cassini magnetopause encounters, we analyse plasma and magnetic fields. The
boundary can be unstable to the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI), which can drive large …
