Journal ArticleDOI

Flow of mass and energy in the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present simple models of the plasma disks surrounding Jupiter and Saturn based on published measurements of plasma properties, and calculate radial profiles of the distribution of plasma mass, pressure, thermal energy density, kinetic energy density and energy density of the suprathermal ion populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solar wind interaction with Jupiter's magnetosphere

TL;DR: A review of observations and theories of the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere from Pioneer to New Horizons can be found in this paper, where the authors suggest that Jupiter's solar wind-driven magnetospheric flows are due primarily to viscous processes at the magnetopause boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling Variability of Plasma Conditions in the Io Torus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a homogeneous torus model parameterized by five variables (transport timescale, neutral source strength, ratio of oxygen sulfur to atoms in the source, fraction of superthermal electrons, temperature of these hot electrons).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) Instrument Aboard New Horizons

TL;DR: The Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument on New Horizons will measure the interaction between the solar wind and ions created by atmospheric loss from Pluto as discussed by the authors, which provides a characterization of the total loss rate and allow us to examine the complex plasma interactions at Pluto for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Power transmission and particle acceleration along the Io flux tube

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Alfven waves need to be filamented by a turbulent cascade process and accelerate the electrons at high latitude in order to explain the observations and to form a consistent scheme of the Io-Jupiter interaction.
