Io-accelerated electrons and ions
Abstract
A description is given of a model in which the Jupiter moon Io interacts with the Jovian magnetosphere through plasma sheaths in the vicinity of Io. Several recent results available from Pioneer 10 are used to revise a Io sheath model suggested by Gurnett (1972) and developed by Hubbard et al. (1974). The revised model is used to suggest an explanation for a number of observations. Attention is also given to other phenomena which might be detectable with the aid of future experiments.
