Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | Summary:Jupiter’s satellite auroral footprints are a consequence of the interaction between the Jovian magnetic field with co-rotating iogenic plasma and the Galilean moons. The disturbances created near the moons propagate as Alfvén waves along the magnetic field lines. The position of the moons is therefore "Alfvénically" connected to their respective […]
