Scientific paper

With our new two species, 3-D multiscale spherical MHD model, the plasma environment around Io is studied. The extended neutral atmosphere of Io is immersed in and interacts with the plasma torus of Jupiter. As a consequence, such physical processes as ion mass loading, ion-neutral drag, and planetary magnetic field are included in the model. Plasma parameters from the Galileo flyby are used for the boundary conditions. These preliminary results are compared with the previous single species model for the same conditions in order to discriminate between the distributions of the ambient upstream plasma ions and the local, newly born pickup ions.
