Energetic Charged Particles at the Earth, the Gas Giants, and Beyond

Session ID#: 159695

Session Description:
The space environments of magnetized planets are full of energetic charged particles that are found in the radiation belts and the auroral regions connecting to the magnetosphere. These particles are affected by electromagnetic fields, waves, plasma, and neutral material from atmospheres, rings, and moons. Each planet weighs these processes differently, a fact that can be leveraged by comparative studies to develop a universal understanding of space physics. Planetary comparisons are timely because recent spacecraft missions provide a wealth of measurements at Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn, and the exploration of Uranus and Neptune is under way. This session invites presentations on fundamental energetic charged particle processes in the radiation belts and as part of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. Presented results may be from any magnetized planet within our solar system or extrasolar system and be based on theory, simulations, spacecraft or Earth-based observations.
