    Pressure anisotropy and radial stress balance in the Jovian neutral sheet (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: By examining particle and magnetic field data from the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft, signatures were found indicating that the (greater than about 28 keV) particle pressure parallel to the magnetic field is greater than the pressure perpendicular to the field within the nightside neutral sheet (three nightside neutral sheet crossings, with favorable experimental conditions, were used). By incorporating the pressure anisotropy into the calculation of radial forces within the hightside neutral sheet, it is found that (1) force balance is approximately achieved and (2) the anisotropy force term provides the largest contribution of the other particle forces considered (pressure gradients and the corotation centrifugal force). With regard to the problem of understanding the balance of radial forces within the dayside neutral sheet (McNutt, 1984; Mauk and Krimigis, 1987), the nightside pressure anisotropy force is larger than the dayside pressure gradient forces at equivalent radial distances; however, a full accounting of the dayside regions remains to be achieved.

    Satellite sweeping of energetic particles at Neptune (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The calculation of the absorption rate of charged particles by planetary satellites introduced by Paonessa and Cheng (1987) is generalized to include an arbitrary offset of the dipole center from the planet center, appropriate for Neptune. The absorption rates calculated for particles of fixed L shell, energy, and pitch angle reflect the features of the complicated geometry of the dipole and the moons. This absorption probability is found to be insignificant compared with that of the rings at L shells to which both sets of absorbers map. However, at larger radii the sweeping rate is controlled by the moons, and the corresponding absorption features provide a starting point for understanding the Voyager energetic particle observations.

    Theory of ring sweeping of energetic particles (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Because the effective 'area' of the Neptunian rings is larger than that of the inner moons, the sweeping of energetic particles by the rings is perhaps the dominant process for particle loss in the magnetosphere within 5 R(N). In this paper, a theory for calculating the absorption probability of energetic charged particles by the rings is described. The effects of a large tilt and an offset between the planet and dipole centers are included. It is found that the probability of absorption for protons is so high that the sweeping lifetime is only a few times the gradient-curvature drift period. For electrons, the sweeping lifetime is even less. The pitch angle dependence for sweeping manifests itself strongly only at large equatorial pitch angles. Lower-energy particles have higher absorption rates by the rings.

    Ion phase space densities in the Jovian magnetosphere (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The Voyager Low Energy Charged Particle ion data from the Jovian magnetosphere were analyzed to determine the phase-space densities of particles in the region between 5 and 80 Jupiter radii. Data from the Jovian current sheet crossings for locally mirroring particles were used. These are the first calculations of phase-space densities in the nondipolar field region containing the Jovian magnetodisk current sheet. The profiles are consistent with lossy inward radial transport and a source in the outer magnetosphere. The inferred loss rate in a radial diffusion model measuring how quickly particles are scattered out of the neutral sheet exceeds the usual strong diffusion loss rate.
