The configuration of Jupiter's magnetosphere
Abstract
The inner magnetosphere: internal magnetic field, plasma sources, radiation belts; The middle magnetosphere: current sheet morphology and structural models, thermal and energetic plasmas, magnetic field models of the current sheet, the structure of the middle magnetosphere, bend-back of the field and plasma outflow; The outer magnetosphere: the Chapman-Ferraro currents, magnetotail; Plasma diffusion and convection: how plasma moves outwards, observations; Plasma acceleration and heating in Jupiter's magnetosphere: ionization and charge exchange, adiabatic processes, reconnection and magnetotail processes, low-altitude and auroral processes; Local time asymmetries: influence of solar wind.
