Jupiter’s main auroral oval observed with HST-STIS
[1] An extended series of FUV images obtained on 7 days during winter 2000–2001, with fixed pointing, yielded highly accurate tracking of emisson features as Jupiter rotated. They provided newly detailed measurements of the degree of corotation of auroral emissions and their variations with changing central meridian longitude. This 2-month data set provides a statistical average location of the...
متن کاملSaturn’s polar ionospheric flows and their relation to the main auroral oval
We consider the flows and currents in Saturn’s polar ionosphere which are implied by a three-component picture of large-scale magnetospheric flow driven both by planetary rotation and the solar wind interaction. With increasing radial distance in the equatorial plane, these components consist of a region dominated by planetary rotation where planetary plasma sub-corotates on closed field lines,...
متن کاملProblems with mapping the auroral oval and magnetospheric substorms
Accurate mapping of the auroral oval into the equatorial plane is critical for the analysis of aurora and substorm dynamics. Comparison of ion pressure values measured at low altitudes by Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites during their crossings of the auroral oval, with plasma pressure values obtained at the equatorial plane from Time History of Events and Macroscale In...
متن کاملPs 6 disturbances: relation to substorms and the auroral oval
Ps 6 disturbances and associated omega bands are often considered to be part of the phenomenology of the recovery phase of substorms. We note cases of the initiation of Ps 6 activity at or very near the time of onset, either of a substorm expansive phase, a pseudobreakup, or a poleward border intensification. Thus, we claim that Ps 6 disturbances need not be viewed primarily as phenomena of the...
متن کاملA New Method for Auroral Oval Detection in FUV Imagery
A new fully automatic method for detecting auroral ovals in images produced by the NASA IMAGE satellite’s Far Ultra Violet (FUV) sensor is introduced. The method exploits the shape characteristics of the auroral oval and utilizes domain knowledge. The shape exploitation involves an efficient Hough-based process. Experimental results show that the new method can accurately detect the auroral ova...
