Information - M6 Magnetospheric Interactions of Icy Moons at Giant Planets
Event Information
Five years after the death of Galileo and four years after the successful orbit insertion of Cassini around Saturn, a slew of observational data is available on the interactions of the icy moons with the parent planet’s magnetosphere. In this session we review what we have learned from Galileo and what we are learning from Cassini with respect to the interaction with the satellites’ atmospheres, Alfvén wings, plasma sputtering and pick-up, inductive magnetic field, current systems etc. Observations combined with theory and numerical modeling of these interactions will lead to better understanding of these various processes and will give directions for future missions to e.g. Europa. We would like to invite both observational and theoretical presentations.
