Journal ArticleDOI
A new functional form to study the solar wind control of the magnetopause size and shape
J.-H. Shue,J. K. Chao,H. C. Fu,Christopher T. Russell,Paul Song,Krishan K. Khurana,Howard J. Singer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new functional form, r = r 0 [2/(1 + cos θ)] α, is used to fit the size and shape of the magnetopause using crossings from ISEE 1 and 2, Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers/Ion Release Module (AMPTE/IRM), and IMP 8 satellites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced magnetic fields as evidence for subsurface oceans in Europa and Callisto
Krishan K. Khurana,Margaret G. Kivelson,David J. Stevenson,Gerald Schubert,Christopher T. Russell,R. J. Walker,C. A. Polanskey +6 more
TL;DR: P perturbations of the external magnetic fields (associated with Jupiter's inner magnetosphere) in the vicinity of both Europa and Callisto are reported, and it is argued that these conducting layers may best be explained by the presence of salty liquid-water oceans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galileo Magnetometer Measurements: A Stronger Case for a Subsurface Ocean at Europa
Margaret G. Kivelson,Krishan K. Khurana,Christopher T. Russell,Martin Volwerk,Raymond J. Walker,Christophe Zimmer +5 more
TL;DR: The Galileo magnetometer measured changes in the magnetic field predicted if a current-carrying outer shell, such as a planet-scale liquid ocean, is present beneath the icy surface of Europa.
Measurements: A Stronger Case for a Subsurface Ocean at Europa
Margaret G. Kivelson,Krishan K. Khurana,Christopher T. Russell,Martin Volwerk,Raymond J. Walker,Christophe Zimmer +5 more
TL;DR: In 2000, the Galileo spacecraft passed close to Europa when it was located far south of Jupiter's magnetic equator in a region where the radial component of the magnetospheric magnetic field points inward toward Jupiter as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Dynamic Atmosphere at Enceladus with the Cassini Magnetometer
Michele K. Dougherty,Krishan K. Khurana,Fritz M. Neubauer,Christopher T. Russell,Joachim Saur,Jared Leisner,M. E. Burton +6 more
TL;DR: The Cassini magnetometer has detected the interaction of the magnetospheric plasma of Saturn with an atmospheric plume at the icy moon Enceladus, consistent with local outgassing activity via a plume from the surface of the moon near its south pole.
