| 内容記述 | A calculation error in previous computations of ion temperatures in the Io plasma torus of the Jovian magnetosphere from Voyager plasma-science-experiment measurements is reported, and its effects on subsequently published studies are evaluated. It is found that the temperatures reported by Bagenal et al. (1980) and Bagenal and Sullivan (1981) for Jupiter and by Bridge et al. (1981) for Saturn are half the correct values, with major effects on ionic-species scale heights, plasma-density maps, and flux-tube content estimations. The temperatures given by Bridge et al. (1979) and McNutt et al. (1981) are not affected by the error. A corrected isodensity contour map is presented, and uncertainties in the measurement of ion temperatures are discussed. |
