Bh. Mauk et al., ENERGY-TIME DISPERSED CHARGED-PARTICLE SIGNATURES OF DYNAMIC INJECTIONS IN JUPITERS INNER MAGNETOSPHERE, Geophysical research letters, 24(23), 1997, pp. 2949-2952
We report on the first detection of energy-time dispersed charged part
icle signatures of dynamic injections within Jupiter's inner magnetosp
here. They were observed by the Energetic Particle Detector on the Gal
ileo spacecraft. The signatures documented here were detect-ed most cl
early in similar to 15-880 keV electrons when Galileo was near local n
oon at a radial position of similar to 11 R-J. On the basis of the cha
racter of the signatures (similar to 60-min signatures within each ene
rgy channel and up to similar to 90-min time dispersions between chann
els), the injection disturbances occurred 24-33 h prior to the time of
the detections and spanned similar to 2.5 h (<40 degrees) of azimuth
at the time of the disturbances. Possible generation mechanisms and si
milarities with Earth magnetosphere events are discussed.
