Cassini UVIS observations of the Io plasma torus. II. Radial variations
TLDR
In this paper, a spectral emissions model was developed to derive the composition of the torus plasma as a function of radial distance, which is consistent with the value of κ = 2.About:

TL;DR: Junior as discussed by the authors is the first spacecraft to enter polar orbit of Jupiter and venture deep into unexplored polar territories of the magnetosphere, where it carries a range of instruments that take particles and fields measurements, remote sensing observations of auroral emissions at UV, visible, IR and radio wavelengths, and detect microwave emission from Jupiter's radiation belts.

Breit-Pauli Transition Probabilities and Electron Excitation Collision Strengths for Singly Ionized Sulfur
S. S. Tayal,Oleg Zatsarinny +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the B-spline Breit-Pauli R-matrix method was used to estimate the collision strengths for the astrophysically important lines in S II and the effective collision strengths were obtained by averaging the electron collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of velocities.

Exploring Transitions of Space Plasmas Out of Equilibrium
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of entropic q-index, which is a measure of the thermodynamic distance of stationary states away from equilibrium, and show how the variation of temperature can be realized using an 'iso-metastability' procedure.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed magnetic field data returned from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) for signatures of electromagnetic plasma waves upstream from the Martian bow shock and found that left-hand polarized waves (0.04-0.10 Hz) observed near the local proton gyrofrequency (PCW) propagate at small to moderate angles to the magnetic field and have amplitudes that decrease with distance from Mars.

CHIANTI - an atomic database for emission lines - I. Wavelengths greater than 50 Å
TL;DR: The CHIANTI database as mentioned in this paper is a set of atomic data and transition probabilities necessary to calculate the emission line spectrum of astrophysical plasmas, including atomic energy levels, atomic radiative data such as wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths and A values, and electron collisional excitation rates.
