Scientific paper
We present results from a 3D global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the magnetosphere of Jupiter with the goal of understanding how features of the magnetosphere relate to either the presence of Iogenic mass, to the rotation of the magnetosphere, to solar wind variations or a combination of these drivers. Using the model we will perform idealized simulations that allow us to isolate the features of the magnetosphere and the drivers that affect them. We will specifically look at the dawn-dusk asymmetries of the current sheet thickness as observed by Galileo and explain how this observation can be explained by MHD processes driven by the rotation of the planetary magnetic field. The model will be compared to Galileo data.
