Moon-Plasma Interactions Throughout the Solar System

Session ID#: 156406

Session Description:
This session will focus on new observational and theoretical studies of the interaction between the moons of our solar system and the magnetized plasmas incident upon them. This includes plasma interactions with the solid surfaces, atmospheres, dust environments, and intrinsic and induced magnetic fields of the moons, both inside and outside of their parent planets’ magnetospheres. Of special interest are results related to in-situ field and particle measurements near the terrestrial moon and from Cassini’s flybys of Saturn's icy satellites Enceladus, Rhea and Dione. Studies deepening our understanding of the interconnection between Titan’s ionosphere and its magnetospheric environment are also very welcome. The interaction of Jupiter’s moons with the magnetospheric plasma will be addressed with a view to provide support to the ongoing Juno mission and the planning of synergistic measurements during the upcoming JUICE and Europa Clipper missions. We also solicit presentations on research that paves the way toward a future exploration of plasma interactions at the moons of the ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Comparative studies of the various moon-plasma interaction scenarios are particularly welcome.
