Mapping Jupiter's outer radiation belt
Flux maps of energetic ions in Jupiter's outer radiation belt, calculated with the aid of a model of the current sheet magnetic field, are consistent with a spatial distribution that is uniform along field lines and monotonically decreasing with radial distance. This result is supported by numerical ion trajectory calculations that predict uniform filling of drift shells at high L values. Adiab...

3 Data assimilation aims to smoothly blend incomplete and inaccurate ob-4 servational data with dynamical information from a physical model, and be-5 come an increasingly important tool in understanding and predicting me-6 teorological, oceanographic and climate processes. As space-borne observa-7 tions become more plentiful and space-physics models more sophisticated, 8 dynamical processes in ...
متن کاملInfrared Radiation from Hot Jupiters
Recent Spitzer infrared (IR) observations of two transiting hot Jupiters during their secondary eclipses have provided the first direct detection of planets orbiting other stars (Charbonneau et al. 2005; Deming et al. 2005). We here elaborate on some aspects of our detection of HD209458b at 24 μm, and we compare to the detection of TrES-1 by Charbonneau et al. Spitzer will eventually determine ...
متن کاملRadiation Belt
On July 9, 1962, at 0900 UT (Universal Time) a nuclear device of 1.4-megatons yield was detonated at 400 km above Johnston Island in the Pacific Ocean. Since the explosion took place in the trapping region of the magnetosphere, an artificial radiation belt of considerable intensity was produced. The possible sources of the radiation belt were: (I ) beta-decay electrons from the fission fragment...
متن کاملToward Eclipse Mapping of Hot Jupiters
Recent Spitzer infrared measurements of hot Jupiter eclipses suggest that eclipse mapping techniques could be used to spatially resolve the day-side photospheric emission of these planets using partial occultations. As a first step in this direction, we simulate ingress/egress lightcurves for three bright eclipsing hot Jupiters and evaluate the degree to which parameterized photospheric emissio...
