SM43D:
Magnetospheres in the Outer Solar System I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 17341

Session Description:
Magnetospheres in the outer solar system have unique characteristics due to factors such as satellite sources of plasma, circumplanetary neutral tori, and rapid planetary rotation. This session invites submissions covering the structure and dynamics of the magnetospheres of the four giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) as well as Ganymede’s magnetosphere. The session will accept papers on magnetospheric and auroral processes including magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, plasma transport, tail dynamics, rotational modulations, boundaries, and the role of the solar wind. We particularly encourage submissions that compare the giant planet magnetospheres to one another, or compare them to those of terrestrial planets. The session will be an ideal forum for the discussion of recent advances in our understanding of all these systems enabled by in-situ and remote observations as well as theoretical and numerical modeling, and relevant to a number of ongoing and future planetary missions, such as Cassini, Juno, and JUICE.
