Our Evolving Understanding of Auroral Physics and Magnetosphere Dynamics at Jupiter
Our Evolving Understanding of Auroral Physics and Magnetosphere Dynamics at Jupiter
Session ID#: 81786
Session Description:
Our view and understanding of Jupiter’s auroras and magnetosphere are ever-changing as Juno continues to explore these regions in situ with coordinated efforts from Earth-based observatories such as Hubble, Hisaki, Keck, etc. These new measurements have illuminated new and exciting discoveries that are challenging our theoretical ideas. Additionally, comparative observations with Juno and previous spacecraft (e.g. Cassini, Galileo, Voyager) help us to understand long-term variations of these systems. This session seeks submissions covering observations, theories, and models relevant to the following topics: observation and theory of auroral acceleration including wave-particle interactions; auroral phenomenology; magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling; plasma sheet dynamics; outer boundary structure and dynamics; and particle acceleration and transport. This session aims to share the most recent observations and ideas as well as results from re-analysis of previous data, while providing a forum that takes a multidisciplinary approach to furthering our knowledge of this system.
