2 Introduction, spatio-temporal scaling in plasmas Size of objects in space plasmas is determined by parameters of media (plasma): radius of is 8 d i0, d i0 is an ion inertial length in the Jovian Plasma It is likely, that gyro-motion effects will be important in s magnetospheric system Ion gyro-motion/kinetic effects can be modeled by hybrid code (treats ions as set of so called macro-particles). Hybrid code has a self-consistent closure for temperature anisotropy. Moreover: we can calculate 3-D VDFs! Low plasma flow velocity long simulation times (model reaches t = 300ωi0 1 in 3 weeks on 256 CPU super-computer)

11 Galileo flyby 01: Trajectory Galileo flyby trajectory around, June 27, 1996.
12 Galileo flyby 01: Magnetic field
13 Galileo flyby 01: VDF VDF along the flyby 01 trajectory: plasma build up due to compression close to outbound magnetopause, plasma belt caused by E B drift.
14 Virtual flyby: VDF VDF across the wing: plasma build up due to compression close to magnetopause, density gradient across the wing.
15 Conclusions The plasma flow is sub-alfvénic. Assumed v i0 = 0.5v A0 Kinetic (gyro-motion) effects might be important. They cause north/south and dawn/dusk asymetries in the interaction between Jovian plasma and s magnetosphere. Plasma is accelerated by the s magnetospheric system. Ionospheric / Exospheric interface is important for the circulation of plasma near (shown also by (Jia et al, 2009) in a MHD model) Higher ion plasma β i supports development temperature anisotropy driven instabilities. However, so far we have not observed electromagnetic waves. T i /T i has low values. Possibly small amplitude waves hiden yet in numerical noise. Drift acceleration looks more important than wave-particle heating (however, no pick-up ions considered so far).
