Jovian electron modulations by the solar wind interaction with the magnetosphere

Misawa, H.; Tsuchiya, F.; Morioka, A.

Variations of energetic electrons released from the Jovian magnetosphere are investigated in detail by using data from three spacecraft, Pioneer 10, 11, and Ulysses. Analyses with the three spacecraft data confirmed that the Jovian electrons are modulated by the dynamic pressure of the solar wind at the position of Jupiter. It is also found that t…
