Magnetospheres of the Outer Planets
MagnetosphereOuterPlanets
The magnetospheres of the outer planets act as laboratories for the study of space plasmas in different environments to the Earth, and act as accessible analogues for more distant astrophysical objects such as pulsars and substellar objects. Jupiter’s magnetosphere is currently under scrutiny via the Juno mission and related Earth-based observations, while the plethora of data obtained by the Cassini spacecraft over its highly successful mission is continuing to provide new insight into the behaviour of Saturn’s magnetosphere. Uranus and Neptune’s magnetospheres are under ongoing observation from Earth-based platforms, and there is increasing interest in the possibility of a dedicated Ice Giant mission. In this session, we invite presentations on any aspect of modelling or data analysis regarding the magnetospheres of the outer planets. We also welcome abstracts regarding relevant astrophysical objects that are related to the magnetospheres of the outer planets.

Schedule:

15:30 Affelia Wibisono “X-ray Emissions from the Outer Planets”

15:50 Aneesah Kamran “Azimuthal field signatures associated with magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling in the Jovian magnetosphere: Comparison between Juno observations and theoretical modelling”

16:03 Nahid Chowdhury “Evidence for a neutral thermosphere-driven planetary period current at Saturn”

16:16 Gabby Provan “Saturn’s nightside ring current during Cassini’s Grand Finale” 

16:29 Richard Haythornthwaite “Heavy positive ion groups in Titan's ionosphere: Cassini Plasma Spectrometer IBS observations”

16:42 Dimitri Veras “The future evolution of planetary magnetospheres”
