Dynamic auroral storms on Saturn as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope
We present observations of significant dynamics within two UV auroral storms observed on Saturn using the Hubble Space Telescope in April/May 2013. Specifically, we discuss bursts of auroral emission observed at the poleward boundary of a solar wind-induced auroral storm, propagating at ∼330% rigid corotation from near ∼01 h LT toward ∼08 h LT. We suggest that these are indicative of ongoing, b...
متن کاملThe size of the auroral belt during magnetic storms
Using the auroral boundary index derived from DMSP electron precipitation data and the Dst index, changes in the size of the auroral belt during magnetic storms are studied. It is found that the equatorward boundary of the belt at midnight expands equatorward, reaching its lowest latitude about one hour before Dst peaks. This time lag depends very little on storm intensity. It is also shown tha...
متن کاملResponse of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s auroral activity to the solar wind
[1] 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 on Jupiter and Saturn are driven primarily by internal processes, with the main energy source being the planets’ rapid rotation. Prior observations have suggested there might be some influence of the solar w...
متن کاملEVOLUTION OF Dst AND AURORAL INDICES DURING SOME SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORMS
The evolutions of the geomagnetic Dst and auroral indices AU, AL, AE were examined in relation to interplanetary parameters for thirteen severe storms (Dst change exceeding 250 nT) during 1980-2003. Dst changes occurred every time Bz component of interplanetary magnetic field B turned negative. Among the auroral indices, changes in AU (representing an eastward auroral electrojet) were generally...
متن کاملIdentification of possible intense historical geomagnetic storms using combined sunspot and auroral observations from East Asia
Comprehensive catalogues of ancient sunspot and auroral observations from East Asia are used to identify possible intense historical geomagnetic storms in the interval 210 BC–AD 1918. There are about 270 entries in the sunspot catalogue and about 1150 entries in the auroral catalogue. Special databases have been constructed in which the scientific information in these two catalogues is placed i...
