| 内容記述 | The results of an analysis of the energetic particle and magnetic field data acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft at distances of about 40-70 Jupiter radii on the nightside of the planet are reported. As in a previous study of similar data at distances of greater than about 80 Jupiter radii, the energy densities of ions (primarily protons) is found to be sufficient to provide the diamagnetic depressions measured in the magnetic field intensity as the spacecraft made successive encounters with the nightside plasma sheet. There is some evidence that the percent contribution of the protons to the energy balance decreases with increasing distance from the planet over this radial interval, although this conclusion is dependent upon the assumption that the proton and heavier ion (oxygen) energy spectra are similar. |
