The magnetosheaths of the outer planets
This paper provides a review of past work on the magnetosheaths of the outer planets and also provides the most complete look to date at the plasma parameters in these magnetosheaths. We (nd that proton distributions in the magnetosheaths of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune (but not Uranus) are well represented by two Maxwellians with the same velocity but di/erent temperatures. The hot proton comp...
متن کامل4.2.4 Planets of the outer Solar System
The planets of the outer Solar System are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The former two are the giant planets, the latter two are also known as sub-giants. The planets are significantly more massive (compare Table 1 of Section 4.2.2.2) than the terrestrial planets and have considerably larger radii. Their mean densities are much smaller, between roughly 690 kg/m (Saturn) and 1640 kg/m (Ne...
متن کاملAtmospheric dynamics of the outer planets.
Despite major differences in the solar and internal energy inputs, the atmospheres of the four Jovian planets all exhibit latitudinal banding and high-speed jet streams. Neptune and Saturn are the windiest planets, Jupiter is the most active, and Uranus is a tipped-over version of the others. Large oval storm systems exhibit complicated time-dependent behavior that can be simulated in numerical...

متن کاملFinding planets and life among the stars
A re we alone in the universe? How can we find out? What would happen if we made contact with extraterrestrial life forms, intelligent or otherwise? These questions have fascinated humans ever since we understood that there is a universe beyond our pale blue dot. As the British physicist and author Arthur C Clarke put it: “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are n...
