Magnetosphere of Jupiter: Multiple Views of a Dynamic System
Magnetosphere of Jupiter: Multiple Views of a Dynamic System
Session ID#: 282606
Session Description:
Since Juno’s arrival at Jupiter in July 2016, the vast, dynamic Jovian magnetosphere has been the focus of many studies. The orbit evolution of the Juno mission brings Juno (at perijove) closer to the ionosphere over the northern auroral region and magnetopause crossings at the southern boundary. As Juno progresses into its extended mission phase, it reaches low altitudes in the northern polar region and crosses the equator close to Jupiter, providing coverage of the middle to inner current sheet, plasma disk, and Io torus. Moon flybys have provided new opportunities to explore plasma-moon interactions. Abstracts addressing the dynamics of the Jovian magnetosphere from the outer boundaries to the inner radiation belts, atmosphere/ionosphere and polar/auroral regions are welcome. Results from in situ and remote observations, theoretical studies, models and predictions through the Juno extended mission are encouraged as well as studies focused on future science obtained by JUICE and Clipper.
