    Magnetic field studies by Voyager 1 - Preliminary results at Saturn (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Confirmation and refinement of Saturnian magnetosphere features established by the Pioneer 11 emission are claimed for Voyager 1 magnetic field studies of the planet. The radius of the magnetopause at the subsolar point is 23 Saturn radii, and a magnetic tail of 80 Saturn radii diameter was discovered. The tail extends away from the sun and is similar to both type II comet tails and the terrestrial and Jovian magnetic tails. Data from Voyager's very close flyby of Titan, which is located within the Saturn magnetosphere, shows an absence of any substantial, intrinsic satellite magnetic field.

    The Viking seismic experiment (1976)

    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: A three-axis short-period seismometer is now operating on Mars in the Utopia Planitia region. The noise background correlates well with wind gusts. Although no quakes have been detected in the first 60 days of observation, it is premature to draw any conclusions about the seismicity of Mars. The instrument is expected to return data for at least 2 years.

    Magnetic field studies by Voyager 2 - Preliminary results at Saturn (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Results of Voyager 2 studies of the magnetosphere and planetary magnetic field of Saturn are presented. Magnetometer studies have confirmed the results obtained by Voyager 1, indicating the magnetic field to be that of a centered dipole of moment 0.21 gauss Saturn radii-cubed, tilted approximately 0.8 deg from the rotation axis and a maximum measured field intensity of 1187 nT at latitude 17.3 deg N just before periapsis. Voyager 2 observed multiple bow shock and magnetopause crossings during its inbound and outbound trajectories, which were complementary to those of Voyager 1, including magnetopause crossing at 18.5 Saturn radii on the inbound trajectory, and at 48.4-50.9 Saturn radii outbound indicative of magnetospheric expansion due to changing solar wind conditions. Throughout the outbound passage, the magnetospheric field was observed to be relatively steady and smooth, with no evidence for any azimuthal asymmetry or magnetic anomaly. Results thus are incapable of accounting for the observed periodic modulation of the Saturnian kilometric radio emissions.

    Magnetic field experiment for Voyagers 1 and 2 (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The magnetic field experiments of the Voyager program involve studies of the planetary fields of Jupiter, Saturn, possibly Uranus, and several satellites; the solar wind and satellite interactions with the planetary fields, as well as large- and micro-scale features of the interplanetary magnetic field will also be investigated. Dual low field and high field magnetometer systems with dynamic ranges of + or - 0.5 G and + or - 20 G respectively provide high reliability for the missions and permit the separation of the spacecraft and ambient fields. Quantization uncertainty, rms noise levels and data compaction schemes of the magnetometer systems are also mentioned.

    Magnetic field studies at Jupiter by Voyager 2 - Preliminary results (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The Voyager 2 magnetic field experiment, for which the instrumentation is identical to that on Voyager 1, operated flawlessly throughout the second Jupiter encounter. The paper presents a brief overview of the results obtained to date on the Jovian magnetosphere, the bow shock, the magnetopause, and the extended magnetic tail. The results and the magnetic field geometry confirm the earlier conclusion from Voyager 1 that Jupiter has an enormous magnetic tail, approximately 300-400 Jupiter radii in diameter, trailing behind the planet with respect to the supersonic flow of the solar wind. Additional observations of the distortion of the inner magnetosphere by a concentrated plasma show a spatial merging of the equatorial magnetodisk current with the current sheet in the magnetic tail. Disturbances near Ganymede are discussed.

    Jupiter's magnetic tail (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Voyager 1 observations of the Jovian magnetosphere are discussed which are most naturally interpreted in terms of a well-developed magnetic tail on the nightside of the planet. It is shown that this tail, with a 'neutral sheet' separating the upper and lower lobes of opposite field polarity, is formed and controlled by external forces associated with the solar wind. The inner magnetosphere's current tail is found to merge with the magnetotail's neutral sheet. It is concluded that this configuration leads to a strong local-time control of the outer Jovian magnetosphere rather than planetary control.

    Magnetic field studies at Jupiter by Voyager 1 - Preliminary results (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Results obtained by the Goddard Space Flight Center magnetometers on Voyager 1 are described. These results concern the large-scale configuration of the Jovian bow shock and magnetopause, and the magnetic field in both the inner and outer magnetosphere. There is evidence that a magnetic tail extending away from the planet on the nightside is formed by the solar wind-Jovian field interaction. This is much like earth's magnetosphere but is a new configuration for Jupiter's magnetosphere not previously considered from earlier Pioneer data. The analysis and interpretation of magnetic field perturbations associated with intense electrical currents (approximately 5 million amperes) flowing near or in the magnetic flux tube linking Jupiter with the satellite Io and induced by the relative motion between Io and the corotating Jovian magnetosphere are reported. These currents may be an important source of heating the ionosphere and interior of Io through Joule dissipation.

    Jupiter and Io - A binary magnetosphere (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: A qualitative assessment is presented of Voyager 1 and 2 data analysis and theoretical interpretation, regarding the Io torus and Jovian aurora, dominant magnetospheric components, plasma waves and radio emissions, with emphasis on the difficulty of accounting for either the Jupiter aurora or Io torus EUV emission luminosities in energetic terms. Jupiter's middle atmosphere is also considered, with attention to observations of corotating ions, their ambiguities and their implications. After a discussion of the question of Jupiter's interaction with the solar wind, as manifested by its magnetic tail, terrestrial magnetospherics are invoked in the construction of a tentative unification of observed phenomena which is within the latitude afforded by the current state of data reduction.

    Estimation and comparison of quasilinear electron heating in the shock foot at Jupiter and earth (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A simple quasilinear model is developed to estimate the electron heating that occurs in the foot of a supercritical, quasiperpendicular shock through interactions with electrostatic waves generated by reflected ions. At earth the increase in electron thermal energy calculated using the measured wave amplitudes is negligible, while at Jupiter it is comparable with the observed temperature gain across the shock. The anisotropic quasilinear heating should destabilize whistler mode waves in the foot. These have been detected by the plasma wave instrument on Voyager with amplitudes sufficient to isotropize the electron distribution.

    Detection of Jovian whistler mode chorus - Implications for the Io torus aurora (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Near the Io torus outer boundary (L of about 8), the Voyager 1 plasma wave instrument detected high frequency (f) waves near one-half the electron cyclotron frequency fc. High resolution waveform measurements demonstrate that these signals (f approximately equal to fc/2) are banded whistler mode chorus at f not greater than fc/2 and half-cyclotron frequency emissions with f slightly above fc/2. The density (about 2.5 per cu cm), the energy (a few keV), and the omnidirectional energy flux (100 ergs/sq cm-sec), of the electrons resonant with the chorus were determined.
