TL;DR: In this paper, spectral, integral moments, and composition (H, He, O, S) of energetic ions (50 keV to 50 MeV) are presented for selected Jupiter magnetospheric positions near the equator between radial distances of ∼6 to ∼46 Jupiter radii (R J ), as revealed by analysis of the Galileo Energetic Particle Detector data.

He-like Ions as Practical Astrophysical Plasma Diagnostics: From Stellar Coronae to Active Galactic Nuclei
TL;DR: In this article, a review of X-ray plasmas diagnostics based on the line ratios of He-like ions is presented, which can be used to determine the ionization process at work, as well as the distance between the Xray plasma and the UV emission source for example in hot stars.

Principles of Plasma Spectroscopy
TL;DR: The diagnosis of plasmas using spectroscopic observations has its origins in various older disciplines, including astronomy and discharge physics as mentioned in this paper, and the need for non-interfering diagnostics arose and spectroscopy was applied to determine the physical state and chemical abundance of the studied.

Ionospheres: Physics, Plasma Physics, and Chemistry
Robert W. Schunk,Andrew F. Nagy +1 more
TL;DR: The terrestrial ionosphere at middle and low latitudes and planetary ionospheres at high latitudes have been studied in this article for the first time, and the results show that the terrestrial ionosphere at low and mid-latitudes is more stable than the high-latitude ionosphere.

Hydromagnetic flow around the magnetosphere
TL;DR: MHD equations applied to hypersonic flow of solar plasma around magnetosphere and approximation with simpler equations of gas dynamics were used to simulate the solar plasma in the magnetosphere.
