Magnetodisc modelling in Jupiter's magnetosphere using Juno magnetic field data and the paraboloid magnetic field model
2019
Abstract. One of the main features of Jupiter's magnetosphere is its equatorial
magnetodisc, which significantly increases the field strength and size of the
magnetosphere. Analysis of Juno measurements of the magnetic field during the
first 10 orbits covering the dawn to pre-dawn sector of the magnetosphere
( ∼ 03:30–06:00 local time) has allowed us to determine optimal parameters of the
magnetodisc using the paraboloid magnetospheric magnetic field model, which
employs analytic expressions for the magnetospheric current systems.
Specifically, within the model we determine the size of the Jovian
magnetodisc and the magnetic field strength at its outer edge.
