Overview of mirror mode fluctuations in the jovian dusk magnetosheath: Cassini magnetometer observations

André, N.; Erdös, G.; Dougherty, M.

The recent Cassini flyby of Jupiter provides a new unique data set in order to allow tracking of the instability along flow lines down to the distant magnetosheath, as yet unexplored by previous missions. Signatures consistent with mirror mode activity were frequently observed during the flyby in the magnetometer data, appearing at many different …
