A brief review of ultraviolet auroral emissions on giant planets

D Grodent - Space Science Reviews, 2015 - Springer
The morphologies of the ultraviolet auroral emissions on the giant gas planets, Jupiter and
Saturn, have conveniently been described with combinations of a restricted number of basic …

[HTML][HTML] Physics of space weather phenomena: a review

AK Singh, A Bhargawa, D Siingh, RP Singh - Geosciences, 2021 - mdpi.com
In the last few decades, solar activity has been diminishing, and so space weather studies
need to be revisited with more attention. The physical processes involved in dealing with …

Response of Jupiter's and Saturn's auroral activity to the solar wind

JT Clarke, J Nichols, JC Gérard… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
While the terrestrial aurorae are known to be driven primarily by the interaction of the Earth's
magnetosphere with the solar wind, there is considerable evidence that auroral emissions …

A new form of Saturn's magnetopause using a dynamic pressure balance model, based on in situ, multi‐instrument Cassini measurements

SJ Kanani, CS Arridge, GH Jones… - Journal of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The shape and location of a planetary magnetopause can be determined by balancing the
solar wind dynamic pressure with the magnetic and thermal pressures found inside the …

The anomalous state of Uranus's magnetosphere during the Voyager 2 flyby

JM Jasinski, CJ Cochrane, X Jia, WR Dunn… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Abstract The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 revealed an unusually oblique and off-
centred magnetic field. This single in situ measurement has been the basis of our …

Magnetospheric configuration and dynamics of Saturn's magnetosphere: A global MHD simulation

X Jia, KC Hansen, TI Gombosi… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the solar wind interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere by using a global
magnetohydrodynamic simulation driven by an idealized time‐varying solar wind input that …

Statistical validation of a solar wind propagation model from 1 to 10 AU

B Zieger, KC Hansen - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
A one‐dimensional (1‐D) numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code is applied to
propagate the solar wind from 1 AU through 10 AU, ie, beyond the heliocentric distance of …

Recurrent energization of plasma in the midnight-to-dawn quadrant of Saturn's magnetosphere, and its relationship to auroral UV and radio emissions

DG Mitchell, SM Krimigis, C Paranicas… - Planetary and Space …, 2009 - Elsevier
We demonstrate that under some magnetospheric conditions protons and oxygen ions are
accelerated once per Saturn magnetosphere rotation, at a preferred local time between …

Modeling the size and shape of Saturn's magnetopause with variable dynamic pressure

CS Arridge, N Achilleos, MK Dougherty… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The location and shape of a planetary magnetopause is principally determined by the
dynamic pressure, Dp, of the solar wind, the orientation of the planet's magnetic dipole with …

Magnetic structure and propagation of two interacting CMEs from the Sun to Saturn

E Palmerio, T Nieves‐Chinchilla… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
One of the grand challenges in heliophysics is the characterization of coronal mass ejection
(CME) magnetic structure and evolution from eruption at the Sun through heliospheric …
