Jovian magnetospheric processes
Abstract
Jupiter's rotational energy (6 x 10 to the 34th J) powers a large number of processes such as auroral UV emission, radio waves, and charged particle energization. How the rotational energy may be dissipated by injection of plasma, magnetic pumping and field aligned electric fields is described. In addition, energization by radial diffusion and plasma wave absorption is described. The generation of Alfven waves by the moon Io, and their relation to the emission of the Jovian decametric (DAM) radio waves are also described.
