2 Giant planet magnetospheres The magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn are Extremely large Dominated by rotation (~10 hrs) Weakly influenced by the solar wind At Io and Europa (inside of 10 R J ): Magnetospheric magnetic field is VERY STRONG! (Io: ~1800 nt, Europa: ~400 nt) Mostly southward. Io s volcanos are the major plasma source for the whole magnetosphere! 1 ton of plasma every second generated from the Io neutral cloud. Bagenal et al., Icarus, 2015 ~ 100 R J ~ 7,000,000 km!

4 detector to separate them by species and energy. The F detector m data used in this paper was processed by the pulse-height-analyzer o (pha) system. Electron count rates obtained in this manner can be separated with high energy resolution. For instance, there are ten m energy channels between about 500 and 1000 kev. In addition to c the pha data, a small group of channels from the high-energy (1 end of LEMMS are included and represent electrons measured in im a detector stack. j In Fig. 4, we show LEMMS electron data averaged and et binned 160 C. Paranicas al. / Icarus 234 covering the mission years Intensity is expressed as b electrons per cm2 s sr kev. Long-time averages are used so that lab ter in this analysis they will approximate the effects of weathering over time. Data used for this study were obtained along the orbital E distances of Mimas (r! 3.08RS), Tethys (r! 4.89RS), and Dione (r! 6.26RS), where RS is Saturn s equatorial radius (RS! 60,268 km), in very narrow radial corridors. We do not inu clude Enceladus in this study because of potential complications m associated with rapid resurfacing and because magnetic perturbaw tions in the moon s plasma wake can alter electron drift paths before they reach the moon. Rhea is somewhat outside the main u radiation belts of the planet and therefore not a focus of this work. p Precipitation, Sputtering, Space Weathering Thermal Plasma (<100 ev) Suprathermal plasma Paranicas et al., GRL, 2001 (Please see also my poster!)

Black lines show the MAG data. Green and red lines, respectively, show traces extracted from the MHD simulations without and with a plume included. Results are presented in EphiO coordinates, with x parallel to Europa s orbital velocity, y directed towards Jupiter and z 100 completing the right-handed system. The interval of anomalous changes (~12:00 to 12:03!UT) is bounded by vertical dashed lines, and closest approach is marked by and a grey arrow. In the range used for these measurements, the MAG sensor digitization step8 was 0.25!nT. Between 11:55 and 12:05!UT, one 200 or another of the 3 sensors saturated at the spacecraft rotation period. This required special processing, which increased the uncertainty to a level of a few nt.

The region of abrupt large-amplitude fluctuations that we link to a plume lasted <3 min, ending by ~12:03 ut, after which high-frequency fluctuations of the magnetic field are consistent with nominal background noise. For the purpose of this investigation, changes in the background conditions that were encountered about 0.7 Europa s radius (RE) beyond the signature of the plume and some 3 min after the spacecraft exited the region perturbed by its presence should not affect the results.
