    Voyager 2 plasma wave observations at Uranus (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: At Uranus, the Voyager 2 plasma wave investigation observed very significant phenomena related to radio emissions, dust impacts, and magnetospheric wave-particle interactions. On January 19, 1986 (R = 270 R-sub U) the plasma wave investigation detected an intense radio burst at 31 and 56 kHz, and this provided the first indication that Uranus had a magnetosphere. During the encounter, more of these sporadic bursts were observed along with relatively continuous radio emissions extending down to 10 kHz, and a sporadic narrowband radio signal with f near 5 kHz. As Voyager passed through the ring plane, the plasma wave investigation recorded a large number of dust impacts. The Voyager 2 plasma wave instrument also detected many strong electromagnetic and electrostatic plasma waves, with intensity peaks in the region within 12 Uranus radii. These waves have characteristics that can interact strongly with the local plasma and with the trapped energetic particles, leading to precipitation into the atmosphere, charged particle acceleration, and charged particle diffusion. In addition, strong wave activity was detected in the region of the bow and shock and moderate levels in the magnetic tail.

    Plasma waves and continuum radiation in planetary magnetospheres (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Voyager data on whistler mode waves and electron cyclotron harmonic emissions are analyzed to understand the interaction of the waves with the dynamics of the electrons. The occurrence and characteristics of Jovian whistler mode chorus and the interactions with the plasma in and near the Io torus are emphasized. Bernstein waves, especially those near the upper hybrid or plasma frequency are discussed to provide insight into an important plasma diagnostic tool and to compare the relevant portions of the electron distribution function at Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. The nonthermal continuum radiation common to the magnetospheres of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn is considered. Because of the very low frequency of these radio waves and their close association with upper hybrid resonance emissions, continuum radiation is often associated more closely with the plasma wave spectrum of a planetary magnetosphere than with the planet's radio spectrum.

    Particle acceleration in Saturn's outer magnetosphere - In memoriam Alois Schardt (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Fluctuations in field strength and particle flux observed during the outbound pass of Voyager 2 through the Saturnian magnetosphere are discussed. The observations of injections of energetic electrons and ions, associated plasma wave activity, and magnetic field perturbations are described. These data imply the existence of an acceleration or heating site some distance from the Voyager 2. A correlation between impulsive injections of 0.35-2 MeV electrons, increase in the hot ion flux of 28-215 KeV, a dip in magnetic field magnitude, and a signal from the plasma wave instrument in the 562 Hz channel was detected. An explanation of these observations is provided.

    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Observations of whistler and Bernstein waves at the earth, Jupiter, and Saturn are discussed, as well as nonthermal continuum radiation which is common to the magnetospheres of these planets. Whistler mode waves and electron cyclotron harmonic emissions are examined in detail, with the purpose of understanding the interaction of these waves with the dynamics of the plasma electrons. Emphasis is placed on the occurrence and characteristics of the Jovian whistler mode chorus and the interactions with the plasma in and near the Io torus.

    A summary of whistlers observed by Voyager 1 at Jupiter (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: We summarize the Voyager 1 observations of whistlers at Jupiter in order to provide a basis for further analyses of the density profile of the Io plasma torus as well as to support studies of atmospheric lightning at Jupiter. All the whistlers detected by Voyager 1 fell into three general regions in the torus at radial distances ranging beteen 5 and 6 R sub J. An analysis of the broadband wave amplitudes measured by the Voyayer 1 plasma wave instrument and estimates of the peak whistler amplitudes imply the grouping of whistlers was due to variations in the sensitivity of the receiver to whistlers and not to variations in the source or propagation paths of the whistlers. The whistler dispersions are presented in statistical form for each of the three groups of events and analyzed in view of the structure of the Io plasma torus as determined by plasma probe measurements. The results of these analyses give source locations for the whistlers at the foot of the magnetic field lines threading the torus in both hemispheres and over a range of longitudes.

    High time resolution plasma wave and magnetic field observations of the Jovian bow shock (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: High time resolution (60 ms) Voyager magnetometer and plasma wave measurements of a strong (fast Mach number 16), quasi-perpendicular Jovian bow shock reveal an abrupt change in the plasma wave spectrum at the leading edge of the shock foot. Upstream electron plasma waves terminate at the leading edge, and are replaced by a lower-frequency broadband spectrum of ion-acoustic-like waves, which terminates at the main shock ramp. The clear association with the foot region of the lower frequency component suggests that it is generated by reflected ions. If the upstream plasma waves are generated by an escaping electron heat flux, their termination at the leading edge suggests that electrons are heated by the low-frequency waves in the shock foot.

    Voyager observations of lower hybrid noise in the Io plasma torus and anomalous plasma heating rates (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A study of Voyager 1 electric field measurements obtained by the plasma wave instrument in the Io plasma torus has been carried out. A survey of the data has revealed the presence of persistent peaks in electric field spectra in the frequency range 100-600 Hz consistent with their identification as lower hybrid noise for a heavy-ion plasma of sulfur and oxygen. Typical wave intensities are 0.1 mV/m, and the spectra also show significant Doppler broadening, Delta omega/omega approximately 1. A theoretical analysis of lower hybrid wave generation by a bump-on-tail ring distribution of ions is given. The model is appropriate for plasmas with a superthermal pickup ion population present. A general methodology is used to demonstrate that the maximum plasma heating rate possible through anomalous wave-particle heat exchange is less than approximately 10 to the -14th ergs per cu cm per s. Although insufficient to meet the power requirement of the EUV-emitting warm torus, the heating rate is large enough to maintain a low-density (0.01-0.1 percent) superthermal electron population of keV electrons, which may lead to a small but significant anomalous ionization effect.

    Description: This volume (2), which consists of two parts (A and B), of the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) Final Science Report contains a summary of all of the data reduction and scientific analyses which were performed using PDP data obtained on STS-51F as a part of the Spacelab 2 (SL-2) payload. This work was performed during the period of launch, July 29, l985, through June 30, l988. During this period the primary data reduction effort consisted of processing summary plots of the data received by 12 of the 14 instruments located on the PDP and submitting these data to the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC). The scientific analyses during the performance period consisted of follow-up studies of shuttle orbiter environment and orbiter/ionosphere interactions and various plasma particle and wave studies which dealt with data taken when the PDP was on the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm and when the PDP was in free flight. Of particular interest during the RMS operations and free flight were the orbiter wake studies and joint studies of beam/plasma interactions with the SL-2 Fast Pulse Electron Generator (FPEG) of the Vehicle Charging and Potential Investigation (VCAP). Internal reports, published papers and presentations which involve PDP/SL-2 data are listed in Sections 3 and 4. A PDP/SL-2 scientific results meeting was held at the University of Iowa on June 10, l986. This meeting was attended by most of the PDP and VCAP investigators and provided a forum for discussing and comparing the various results, particularly with regard to the PDP free flight.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: This volume (1) of the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) final science report contains a summary of all of the data reduction and scientific analyses which were performed using PDP data obtained on STS-3 as a part of the Office of Space Science first payload (OSS-1). This work was performed during the period of launch, March 22, l982, through June 30, l983. During this period the primary data reduction effort consisted of processing summary plots of the data received by the 14 instruments located on the PDP and submitting these data to the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC). The scientific analyses during the performance period consisted of general studies which incorporated the results of several of the PDP's instruments, detailed studies which concentrated on data from only one or two of the instruments, and joint studies of beam-plasma interactions with the OSS-1 Fast Pulse Electron Generator (FPEG) of the Vehicle Charging and Potential Investigation (VCAP). Internal reports, published papers and oral presentations which involve PDP/OSS-1 data are listed in Sections 3 and 4. A PDP/OSS-1 scientific results meeting was held at the University of Iowa on April 19-20, 1983. This meeting was attended by most of the PDP and VCAP investigators and provided a forum for discussing and comparing the various results, particularly with regard to the shuttle orbiter environment. One of the most important functional objectives of the PDP on OSS-1 was to characterize the orbiter environment.
