Scientific paper

This report summarizes research activity and publications resulting from this NASA grant. The abstracts of published papers are followed by a summary of seminar and meeting papers. Studies concentrated on planetary atmospheres, particularly Saturn and Jupiter's, with data supported by Voyager 1 observations. In particular, the thermal structure of ions and electrons, the electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves, and plasma waves in Saturn's magnetosphere; a model of particle acceleration and diffusion by plasma waves in a planetary magnetic field; a theory of electron acceleration by plasma waves in the Io plasma torus (a.k.a. Jovian nebula); the neutral cloud theory of the Jovian nebula's ionization effect of superthermal electrons; and the stochastic acceleration of energetic ions in Jupiter's magnetosphere are reported on.
