The europa jupiter system mission (EJSM): Exploring the emergence of habitable worlds around gas giants
, Pages: 10338-10350The Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM) would be an international mission with the overall theme of investigating the emergence of habitable worlds around gas giants. Its goals would be to (1) Explore Europa to investigate its habitability, (2) Characterize Ganymede as a planetary object including its potential habitability and (3) Explore the Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giants. NASA and ESA have concluded a detailed joint study of a mission to Europa, Ganymede, and the Jupiter system. The EJSM architecture consists of two primary elements operating in the Jovian system: the NASA-led Jupiter Europa Orbiter (JEO), and the ESA-led Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter (JGO). JEO and JGO would execute a choreographed exploration of the Jupiter System before settling into orbit around Europa and Ganymede, respectively. EJSM would directly address themes concerning the origin and evolution of icy satellite systems and water-rich environments therein. The potential habitability of the ocean-bearing moons Europa and Ganymede would be investigated, by characterizing the geophysical, compositional, geological, and external processes that affect these icy worlds. EJSM would also investigate Io and Callisto, small satellites and rings, Jupiter's atmosphere, and the Jovian magnetosphere. By better understanding the Jupiter system and unraveling its history, the formation and evolution of gas giant planets and their satellites would be better known. Most important, EJSM would shed new light on the potential for the emergence of life in our celestial neighborhood and beyond. The EJSM notional architecture provides opportunities for coordinated synergistic observations by JEO and JGO of the Jupiter and Ganymede magnetospheres, the volcanoes and torus of Io, the atmosphere of Jupiter, and comparative planetology of icy satellites. Each spacecraft would conduct both such synergistic dual-spacecraft investigations and also stand-alone measurements toward the overall mission theme and

Parametric decay of linearly polarized shear Alfvén waves in oblique propagation: One and two‐dimensional hybrid simulations
, Geophysical Research Letters, Vol: 37, ISSN: 0094-8276<jats:p>The parametric instability of a monochromatic shear Alfvén wave in oblique propagation with respect the ambient magnetic field is investigated in a kinetic regime, performing one‐dimensional (1‐D) and two‐dimensional (2‐D) hybrid simulations. The parallel component of the mother wave is found to be subject to a parametric decay which excites an ion‐acoustic wave along the magnetic field and a backward propagating daughter shear Alfvén wave, as in the instability for a purely parallel mother wave. At the same time, the acoustic wave generation supports the acceleration of a velocity beam in the ion distribution function, due to the non‐linear trapping of protons. Moreover, the instability leads to the generation of broad band oblique spectra of coupled Alfvénic and compressive modes with variable perpendicular wavevectors, and, as a consequence, the magnetic field after saturation is characterized by a strong transverse modulation.</jats:p>

Power and Spectral Index Anisotropy of the Entire Inertial Range of Turbulence in the Fast Solar Wind
, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol: 407, Pages: L31-L35, ISSN: 0035-8711We measure the power and spectral index anisotropy of magnetic field fluctuations in fast solar wind turbulence from scales larger than the outer scale down to the ion gyroscale, thus covering the entire inertial range. We show that the power and spectral indices above the outer scale of turbulence are approximately isotropic. The turbulent cascade causes the power anisotropy at smaller scales manifested by anisotropic scalings of the spectrum: close to k−5/3 across and k−2 along the local magnetic field, consistent with a critically balanced Alfvénic turbulence. By using data at different radial distances from the Sun and calculating the radial dependence of the ratio of the outer scale to the ion gyroscale, we show that the width of the inertial range does not change with heliocentric distance. At the smallest scales of the inertial range, close to the ion gyroscale, we find an enhancement of power parallel to the magnetic field direction coincident with a decrease in the perpendicular power. This is most likely related to energy injection by ion kinetic modes such as the firehose instability and also marks the beginning of the kinetic range, sometimes called the dissipation range, of solar wind turbulence.

Kinetics of parametric instabilities of Alfvén waves: Evolution of ion distribution functions
, Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Vol: 115, ISSN: 0148-0227<jats:p>Using numerical simulations in a hybrid regime, we studied the evolution of large‐amplitude Alfvén waves subject to modulational and decay instabilities, including the effects of ion kinetics. We considered both a monochromatic and incoherent spectrum of waves, different wave polarizations and amplitudes, and different plasma regimes, ranging from <jats:italic>β</jats:italic> < 1 to <jats:italic>β</jats:italic> > 1. We found in all cases that ion dynamics affects the instability evolution and saturation; as a feedback, wave‐particle interactions provide a nonlinear trapping of resonant particles that importantly change the properties of the ion velocity distribution functions. In particular, we observed a proton acceleration along the magnetic field and in some cases the formation of a parallel velocity beam traveling faster than the rest of the distribution. For the range of parameters used in our simulations, the fundamental ingredient in generating an ion beam is observed to be the parallel electric field carried by the density fluctuations driven by the ion‐acoustic modes generated by the parametric instabilities.</jats:p>
