Figure 1. Schematic diagram of Jupiter's magnetosphere [Click for larger image] There is a high-density plasma region originating from the volcanic ejecta from satellite Io situated in the inner area of the Jupiter magnetosphere (Io plasma torus), and ultra-high energy particles gather in further inside (radiation belts).
22 set 2020 · Jupiter's giant magnetosphere is a complex system seldom in a configuration approximating steady state, and a clear picture of its governing dynamics remains elusive. Crucial to understanding how the magnetosphere behaves on a large scale are disturbances to the system on length-scales comparable to the cavity, which are communicated by magnetohydrodynamic waves in the ultralow-frequency band ...
4 nov 2018 · 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 and study the regions along magnetic flux tubes where the plasma is the densest, that is, the equatorial plasma sheet, and where the plasma is the most dilute, that is, above the ionosphere, where auroral particle ...
Juno arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, after a five-year, 1,740-million-mile journey, and settled into a 53-day polar orbit stretching from just above Jupiter’s cloud tops to the outer reaches of the Jovian magnetosphere. During the prime mission’s 35 orbits of Jupiter, Juno collected more than three terabits of science data and provided ...
9 gen 2024 · Voyager 2 observation. At Jupiter, the Voyager 2 spacecraft remains the sole probe to have traversed the subsolar region of the Jovian magnetosheath 25. It crossed the Jovian bow shock at 17:35 ...
Chapters by recognized authorities cover all aspects of Jupiter, its satellites and magnetosphere. A complete and up-to-date summary of our understanding of the entire Jupiter System Each chapter written by leading authorities in the field
Giant waves have been found swirling in the plasma at the boundary of Jupiter 's magnetosphere, scientists have found. Data from Juno suggests the Jupiter probe regularly dips through these waves, invisible to the naked eye, as it orbits the giant planet. The discovery helps astronomers understand how mass and energy is transferred from the ...
