Magnetosphere of Jupiter: Multiple Views of a Dynamic System
Magnetosphere of Jupiter: Multiple Views of a Dynamic System
Session ID#: 158087
Session Description:
Jupiter's large and dynamic magnetosphere has been explored extensively over the past seven years by the Juno spacecraft with complementary measurements from Earth-based observatories (e.g., Hubble, Hisaki, Keck, Nustar). As Juno's polar orbit precesses the trajectory crosses the equator closer to Jupiter, passing the orbits of the Galilean satellites and mapping the middle to inner current sheet and plasma disk. Flybys of Ganymede, Europa and, eventually Io, provide opportunities to explore the plasma-moon interactions. The orbit evolution also brings Juno (at perijove) closer to the ionosphere over the northern auroral region as well as (at apojove) potential magnetopause crossings at the nightside southern boundary. This session seeks submissions that address the dynamics of the jovian magnetosphere from the outer boundaries to Jupiter's atmosphere/ionosphere, including analysis of in situ and/or remote observations, theoretical studies and predictions through the Juno extended mission.
