| 内容記述 | Voyager 2 magnetic field and plasma data are compared with theoretical model calculations for the magnetosphere of Uranus to derive a global picture from the limited set of measurements. The results suggest that Voyager 2 entered the Uranian magnetosphere during a relaxation phase which followed a compression of the entire magnetosphere. The plasma beta values in the Uranian neutral sheet were found to be smallar by a factor of 3-8 compared to corresponding beta values in the average terrestrial neutral sheet. The excellent agreement found between observed and calculated magnetic tail lobe field strengths indicates that the Uranian magnetosphere reaches the state of quasi-static (i.e., slowly time-dependent MHD equilibrium). |
