Meteorology of Jupiterâ€TMs equatorial hot spots and plumes from Cassini
We present an updated analysis of Jupiter’s equatorial meteorology from Cassini observations. For two months preceding the spacecraft’s closest approach, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) onboard regularly imaged the atmosphere. We created time-lapse movies from this period in order to analyze the dynamics of equatorial hot spots and their interactions with adjacent latitudes. Hot spots are r...
متن کاملMapping Magnetospheric Equatorial Regions at Saturn from Cassini Prime Mission Observations
Saturn’s rich magnetospheric environment is unique in the solar system, with a large number of active magnetospheric processes and phenomena. Observations of this environment from the Cassini spacecraft has enabled the study of a magnetospheric system which strongly interacts with other components of the saturnian system: the planet, its rings, C.S. Arridge ( ) · G.H. Jones Mullard Space Scienc...
متن کاملMetastable Black Saturns Combining Everything (1) Becomes
Black Saturns have multiple horizons and so offer a testing ground for the ideas of black hole thermodynamics. In this note, we numerically scan for phases that are in equilibrium by extremizing total entropy in the 2-dimensional moduli space of stationary, singly rotating black Saturns with fixed total mass and angular momentum. On top of the known TH = TR, ΩH = ΩR configurations, we find phas...
متن کاملFirst satellite tracks of South Atlantic sea turtle ‘lost years’: seasonal variation in trans-equatorial movement
In the South Atlantic Ocean, few data exist regarding the dispersal of young oceanic sea turtles. We characterized the movements of laboratory-reared yearling loggerhead turtles from Brazilian rookeries using novel telemetry techniques, testing for differences in dispersal during different periods of the sea turtle hatching season that correspond to seasonal changes in ocean currents. Oceanogra...
متن کاملCurrent Sheet Formation in the Interstellar Medium
There is phenomenological evidence that magnetic reconnection operates in the interstellar medium, and magnetic reconnection is also necessary for the operation of a galactic dynamo. The extremely long ohmic di†usion times of magnetic Ðelds in typical interstellar structures suggest that reconnection occurs in two stages, with thin current layers that have relatively short resistive decay times...
