TLDR
The response of the Plasma torus to this outburst shows that the interaction between Io and Jupiter's magnetosphere is stabilized by a feedback mechanism in which increases in the plasma torus mass cause a nonlinear increase in loss from the plasmatorus, limiting plasma buildup.Abstract:
A 6-month-long monitoring campaign of the Io plasma torus and neutral cloud was conducted to determine the characteristics of their interaction. During the observations, a large outburst of material from Io—inferred to be caused by the eruption of a volcanic plume on Io—caused a transient increase in the neutral cloud and plasma torus masses. The response of the plasma torus to this outburst shows that the interaction between Io and Jupiter's magnetosphere is stabilized by a feedback mechanism in which increases in the plasma torus mass cause a nonlinear increase in loss from the plasma torus, limiting plasma buildup.read more

Beyond the '3/4-power law': variation in the intra- and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals.
TL;DR: The 3/4-power scaling law of metabolic rate is not universal, either within or among animal species as discussed by the authors, and this variation can be related to taxonomic, physiological, and/or environmental differences.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cubic mesostructure with crystalline TiO2 (anatase) in the walls, stable to 400 °C, was synthesized by varying the volume ratio between the copolymer and inorganic components of the precursor solution.

Inertial limit on corotation
TL;DR: In this article, the inertial corotation lag is calculated as a function of radial distance in the magnetosphere, the solution being parameterized in terms of the Pedersen conductivity of the atmosphere and the rate at which plasma mass is produced and transported outward.

Empirical model of the Io plasma torus: Voyager measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a description of the Io plasma torus, between 5 and 10 RJ, based on Voyager 1 observations obtained in March 1979, using a model that includes updated analyses of plasma Science (PLS) data obtained along the spacecraft trajectory as well as Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) observations of composition made remotely from Jupiter.

Transient flux tubes in the terrestrial magnetosphere

TL;DR: In this article, small isolated density depletions are introduced into the magnetotail by an uneven plasma loading process in the far tail, and a significant depletion would move faster than either the gradient-curvature drift speed or the average convection speed.

Dawn‐dusk electric field asymmetry of the Io plasma torus
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a combined convection and corotation electric field across the Io plasma torus are considered, and the effect of a dawn-to-dusk electric field E sub C will modify the orbits of charged particles shifting them toward dawn.
