Plasma sources fall essentially in three categories: the solar wind, the ionosphere (both prevalent on Earth), and the satellite-related sources. .Throughout the text, the case of each planet is described, including the characteristics, chemical composition and intensity of each source. The authors also describe how the plasma generated at the source regions is transported to populate the magnetosphere, and how it is later lost. To summarize, the dominant sources are found to be the solar wind and sputtered surface ions at Mercury, the solar wind and ionosphere at Earth (the relative importance of the two being discussed in a specific introductory chapter), Io at Jupiter and – a big surprise of the Cassini findings – Enceladus at Saturn. The situation for Uranus and Neptune, which were investigated by only one fly-by each, is still open and requires further studies and exploration. In thefinal chapter, the book offers a summary of the little we know of Uranus andNeptune, then summarizes in a comparative way what we know of plasma sourcesthroughout the solar system, and pro | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Planetary magnetospheres; Plasma processes in magnetospheres; Interplay between plasma sources; Interpl | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-3544-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-8073-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4939-3544-4Series ISSN 1385-7525 | issn_series | 1385-7525 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016 |
