    Description: Measurements of greater than or = 1 MeV electrons in Neptune's magnetosphere from L approximately = 4 to 14 are well represented by solutions of a model radial diffusion equation that includes losses due to absorption by the satellite Proteus. The model provides estimates of the radial diffusion coefficient, which is 5 x 10(exp -8) (L/5)(exp 8)/s, and the outer boundary energy spectrum, which is an exponential with an e-folding energy of 0.1 MeV. The diffusion coefficient is consistent with theoretical estimates based on the assumption that diffusion is driven by atmospheric neutral winds.

    Description: The formation of plasmaspheres in planetary magnetospheres with arbitrary orientations of the rotation and magnetic dipole axes is investigated. A traditional plasmasphere with closed orbits inside the plasmapause and open trajectories outside it only occurs for the limiting case of aligned rotation and dipole axes. A time-variable plasmapause exists if the rotation axis is perpendicular to the solar win flow direction. In any other case, no definite plasmapause exists. Solar wind-driven convection transports plasma throughout the magnetosphere with an effectiveness which increases as the orientation goes further from one of the two limiting cases of strict plasmapause formation. The present analysis is applied to earth and Uranus using the actual orientations of the rotation and dipole axes. Particle trajectories at earth deviate only slightly from those obtained with traditional models. Uranus has no plasmasphere, and plasma convects sunwards throughout the inner magnetosphere.
