Scientific paper

This talk is a generalization of the results presented by Ferrière and André (low-frequency waves in nonuniform, gyrotropic plasmas, this session) to the case of multicomponent plasmas, more representative of the Jovian and Saturnian magnetospheres and specifically designed for interpretations of the observational data provided by the Galileo mission. Galileo measurements gave hints of the small-scale transport of plasma by flux tube interchange motions in the magnetosphere of Jupiter, in particular in the highly structured Io plasma torus surrounding the planet. Our theoretical findings are ultimately applied to realistic plasma and field distributions in this torus, with the aim of checking whether these distributions are stable or unstable against interchange motions.
