Past exploration of Jupiter's diverse satellite system has forever changed our understanding
of the unique environments to be found around gas giants, both in our solar system and …

The plasma particle velocity distributions observed in the solar wind generally show
enhanced (non-Maxwellian) suprathermal tails, decreasing as a power law of the velocity …

In this paper we examine the physical foundations and theoretical development of the kappa
distribution, which arises naturally from non-extensive Statistical Mechanics. The kappa …

The Jovian magnetosphere assumes a disc‐like geometrical configuration (“magnetodisc”)
owing to the persistent presence of a system of azimuthal currents circulating in a washer …

Empirically derived kappa distributions are becoming increasingly widespread in space
physics as the power law nature of various suprathermal tails is melded with more classical …

We present simple models of the plasma disks surrounding Jupiter and Saturn based on
published measurements of plasma properties. We calculate radial profiles of the …

Previous investigations proved the existence of local density enhancements in Europa's
atmosphere, advancing the idea of a possible origination from water plumes. These …

The Galilean moons play major roles in the giant magnetosphere of Jupiter. At the same
time, the magnetospheric particles and fields affect the moons. The impact of …

Abstract In July 2016, NASA's Juno mission becomes the first spacecraft to enter polar orbit
of Jupiter and venture deep into unexplored polar territories of the magnetosphere. Focusing …

Abstract The Jupiter Energetic Particle Detector Instruments (JEDI) on the Juno Jupiter polar-
orbiting, atmosphere-skimming, mission to Jupiter will coordinate with the several other …
