Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of the main auroral oval in Jupiter's coupled magnetosphere–ionosphere system
TL;DR: In this article, a simple empirical model of the field and flow in the middle magnetosphere is used to estimate the field-aligned currents flowing into and out of the equatorial current sheet associated with the breakdown of corotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple quantitative model of plasma flows and currents in Saturn's polar ionosphere
TL;DR: A simple illustrative axisymmetric model of the plasma flows and currents that occur in Saturn's polar ionosphere which are due to both internal magnetospheric plasma processes and the solar wind interaction was proposed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete aurora as the direct result of an inferred high‐altitude generating potential distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that smaller-scale precipitation regions, as are required to account for discrete aurora, result from the basic analysis in the previous paper if appropriate structure is introduced in the high-altitude electric field distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saturn's polar ionospheric flows and their relation to the main auroral oval
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the flows and currents in Saturn's polar ionosphere which are implied by a three-component picture of large-scale magnetospheric flow driven both by planetary rotation and the solar wind interaction, and provide theoretical arguments which indicate that the flow should drop to considerably smaller values on open field lines in the polar cap.
Physics of the Plasma Universe
TL;DR: In this article, the Birkeland Currents in Cosmic Plasmas and Biot-Savart Law in cosmic plasmas are discussed, as well as double layers in Astrophysics and Synchrotron Radiation.
