Message from the MIST mailing list.
Dear MIST community.
We would like to draw your attention to session SM036 “Radiation Belts at the Earth, the Gas Giants, and Beyond” at the upcoming Fall AGU meeting. We are very keen to bring together the expertise of those across the Earth, Planetary and broader Astronomy community to discuss radiation belts wherever they occur. For more information see the summary below.
The abstract deadline is 31 July 2019.
You can submit your abstract here https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/77208.
Session Summary:
Radiation belts are strongly coupled to the properties of their host magnetosphere. The unique conditions around each planet lead to a different balance between energetic particle sources and sinks. No single radiation belt can be considered as a prototype for all others and comparative studies are vital for forming a more universal picture of how radiation belts work. This comparison is finally possible, and timely, because recent spacecraft missions provide a wealth of measurements, the interest in exploring Uranus and Neptune is re-emerging and the search for magnetospheric emissions from exoplanets (similar to Jupiter’s synchrotron radiation) gains momentum. This session invites presentations that highlight how our understanding of fundamental radiation belt processes has advanced through their study at different planets and may include results based on spacecraft, ground based observations, theory and simulations. Investigations comparing different radiation belts or with implications for the properties of exoplanetary systems are particularly welcome.
Invited speakers:
Wen Li, Boston University
Quentin Nenon, University of California at Berkeley
