Scientific paper

In Jupiter's magnetosphere the dynamics of micron sized and smaller charged dust particles is strongly influenced, if not dominated, by electromagnetic forces acting simultaneously with gravity, drag and radiation pressure. Dust particles traversing various regimes adjust their electrostatic charges as dictated by the changing plasma conditions and in fact they are `active electrostatic probes' continuously adjusting their surface potential towards the local equilibrium value. The fields and particles environment of Jupiter uniquely shapes the size and the spatial distribution of these dust grains. Studies of the motion of charged dust particles connect a number of observations that are often thought to be unrelated. Here we summarize our current modeling efforts aimed to understand the Galileo dust measurements in the Jovian magnetosphere.
