New Electron Population Trapped at Low Latitudes Near Jupiter

Abstract We report observations of a low energy (<2 keV), trapped electron population near Jupiter's magnetic equator made by the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) on Juno. Electron intensity peaks around the location of the minimum magnetic field magnitude along the...

Plasma wave observations from Juno spacecraft at the Jovian bow shock

Recent observations of Jupiter’s bow shock have provided new insights into the energy dissipation mechanisms associated with bow shocks of outer planets. At greater distances from the Sun, the typically increasing super-Alfvénic nature of the solar wind leads to higher-energy bow...
