Magnetospheres in the Outer Solar System
Session ID#: 247397
Session Description:
Magnetospheres in the outer solar system have unique characteristics due to such factors as satellite sources of plasma, circumplanetary neutral tori, and rapid planetary rotation. This session invites submissions covering the structure and dynamics of the magnetospheres of the giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and Ganymede. Papers on magnetospheric and auroral processes related to magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, plasma transport, tail dynamics, rotational modulations, magnetospheric boundaries, and solar wind effects are consistent with our session themes. We particularly encourage submissions that compare the outer planet magnetospheres to one another, or compare them to those of terrestrial planets. The session will be an ideal forum for discussion of recent advances in our understanding of all these systems enabled by in-situ and remote observations as well as theoretical and numerical modeling.
