CMI growth rates for Saturnian kilometric radiation
[1] We calculate growth rates for extraordinary mode Saturnian kilometric radiation generated by the electron cyclotron maser instability using a ring‐type (DGH) electron phase distribution model fitted to measured electron energy dist r ibut ions in Saturn’s auroral acceleration region. The observed distributions are unstable in spatially isolated regions of transverse linear size of order 10 ...
متن کامل3D PiC code investigations of Auroral Kilometric Radiation mechanisms
Efficient (~1%) electron cyclotron radio emissions are known to originate in the X mode from regions of locally depleted plasma in the Earths polar magnetosphere. These emissions are commonly referred to as the Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR). AKR occurs naturally in these polar regions where electrons are accelerated by electric fields into the increasing planetary magnetic dipole. Here con...
متن کاملThe Emission of Narrow-Band Jovian Kilometric Radiation
A model based on the nonlinear coupling of electrostatic plasma waves is proposed to explain the emission of the narrow-band Jovian kilometric radiation (nKOM) observed by the Voyager spacecraft. it is shown that upper-hybrid branch electrostatic waves propagating through the inhomogeneities in the outer periphery of the Io plasma torus can attain the proper geometry for localized upconversion ...
متن کاملGeneration of Auroral Kilometric Radiation in Bounded Source Regions
Owing to the complete and precise wave/particle measurements performed by the Viking and FAST spacecraft in the sources of the terrestrial Auroral Kilometric Radiation, the conditions of generation of this coherent radio emission are now well documented. It has been demonstrated that the production of radio waves occurs in thin laminar regions that exactly correspond to the regions of auroral p...
متن کاملA simple model of the Auroral Kilometric Radiation visibility
Data collected with Polrad swept frequency analyzer during almost 2.5 years of Interball-2 mission are used to investigate the directivity properties of AKR observed in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast with the previous, mostly statistical studies, single dynamic spectra have been analyzed. Simple modeling of AKR source visibility from the location of the observer makes possible to find app...
