Scientific paper

A theoretical model is presented for the plasma in the Jovian magnetosphere whose pressure is comparable to the corotational energy density. The model is consistent with a thin current sheet of half thickness equal to 1 or 2 Jupiter radii. The current sheet lies almost precisely in the magnetic equatorial plane and is not appreciably warped, as has been suggested previously. Warping would occur only if the plasma pressure were much less than the corotational energy density
