  1. The Magnetosphere and Plasmasphere CSI 769 3rd section, Oct. – Nov. 2005 J. Guillory

  2. Lecture 8 (Oct.25) • Bow shock scattering; Magnetosphere structure, charged particle orbits • Advance reading: Gombosi Ch.1 & 6 (and/or Parks Ch. 4, 8 &10). and Sci. Am. Apr. 1991: Collisionless Shock Waves • Lecture 9 (Nov. 1) • Dawn-dusk electric field; gyrokinetic codes; magnetotail & current sheet • Advance reading: Gombosi Ch. 7 & 14, Parks Sec. 7.8 & 11.5) • Lecture 10 (Nov. 8) • MHD codes & boundary conditions; parallel E-fields & precipitation; satellite diagnostics • Advance reading: Gombosi Ch. 4 , Parks Sec. 7.7 • In conjunction with the last topic: • Joel Fedder (NRL) is scheduled for a Space Sciences Seminar on his MHD magnetosphere code, Wed. 10/26, 3:00 p.m., 206 • Please attend.

  3. Incoming particle scattering • Stochastic Injection of Energetic Particles from Bow Shock and from Tailward reconnection region • Nonadiabatic because gyroradius ~ B scale-length locally • Particle orbit diffusion due to field fluctuations

  4. Magnetic field geometry

  5. Charged particle orbits, static B: • Fast gyration about field line • North-south bounce due to “magnetic mirror” force • Slow east-west drift due to inhomogeneous magnetic field • ExB drifts due to electric fields

  6. Magnetosphere Simulation • Particle codes, incl. gyro-averaged particle followers (e.g. Mary Hudson’s at Dartmouth) • Fluid (MHD) codes • Fedder-Lyon-Mobarry code (NRL) • Spicer’s code(s): Odin etc. • BATSRUS (U. Michigan) • Hybrid (particles and MHD) codes • Rice MSM code
