International audience; The occurrence probability of the Jovian decameter radio emissions depends on two essential parameters: the central meridian longitude (CML) and the orbital phase of the satellite Io. Four main zones of enhanced occurrence probability emerge from the CML-Io phase diagram: the so-called Io-controlled sources Io-A, Io-B, Io-C and Io-D. We study the compatibility of the location of these sources with the existence of a specific active longitude range, anchored in Jupiter's magnetic field, and favoring the radio emissions. A theoretical model, based on the cyclotron maser instability (CMI), was proposed a few years ago in order to explain the existence of such active longitudes, assuming that the radiation was emitted at the local gyrofrequency in a hollow cone of constant angle, along a magnetic field line carried away by Io through its revolution around Jupiter. Unfortunately this model was not able to justify the dimension in longitude of all the Io-controlled sources, in particular those located in the Jovian southern hemisphere (Io-C and Io-D). We show that the azimuthal distribution of the four occurrence regions (Io-A, Io-B, Io-C and Io-D) around the gradient of the local magnetic field is not constant so that the emission cone (in each Jovian hemisphere) presents a significant flattening in the direction of the magnetic field vector. Introducing a beaming cone with an elliptical section makes the location and extension in longitude of the sources (in the CML-Io phase diagram) compatible with the existence of an active longitude. A theory of the CMI, acting in an inhomogeneous medium in which the magnetic field vector and the gradient of its modulus are not aligned, shall be required in order to justify the flattening of the emission cone.

ISBN: 978-3-7001-7125-6; International audience; Recent observations performed by the radio and plasma wave science (RPWS) experiment on board the Cassini spacecraft have revealed the presence of two distinct and variable spin modulation periods (10.6 hours and 10.8 hours) in Saturn’s radio emissions emanating from the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. The main time modulation of planetary radio emissions has always been attributed to the effect on the inner magnetosphere of the internal magnetic field which rigidly rotates with the deep interior of the planet. The magnetospheric plasma is supposed to be frozen in this magnetic field so that a north/south asymmetry in the radio modulation period should never be observed. However Saturn’s magnetic field is very particular since its dipolar moment is nearly aligned with the rotation axis of the planet. Such an alignment could bring out some phenomena in the internal structure which are masked in the case of other magnetized planets the magnetic dipole of which is significantly tilted. The existence of two separated and slowly varying periods in the saturnian magnetic field could be the signature of a dynamo the dynamics of which is governed by a Rikitake system.

- Abstract
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. Alfvén waves are perturbations of the interplanetary magnetic field that transport energy. We use in situ measurements from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter spacecraft to investigate a stream of solar wind as it traverses the inner heliosphere. The observations show heating and acceleration of the plasma between the outer edge of the corona and near the orbit of Venus, along with the presence of large-amplitude Alfvén waves. We calculate that the damping and mechanical work performed by the Alfvén waves are sufficient to power the heating and acceleration of the fast solar wind in the inner heliosphere.

- Abstract
The ambient solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from multiple sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA's Solar Orbiter mission is to identify solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the heliosphere. By combining magnetic field modelling and spectroscopic techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March 2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic field footpoints connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This is reflected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au but are applicable to near-Earth observatories., Competing Interests: Competing interestsThe authors declare no competing interests., (© The Author(s) 2024.)

- Abstract
The second Venus flyby of the BepiColombo mission offer a unique opportunity to make a complete tour of one of the few gas-dynamics dominated interaction regions between the supersonic solar wind and a Solar System object. The spacecraft pass through the full Venusian magnetosheath following the plasma streamlines, and cross the subsolar stagnation region during very stable solar wind conditions as observed upstream by the neighboring Solar Orbiter mission. These rare multipoint synergistic observations and stable conditions experimentally confirm what was previously predicted for the barely-explored stagnation region close to solar minimum. Here, we show that this region has a large extend, up to an altitude of 1900 km, and the estimated low energy transfer near the subsolar point confirm that the atmosphere of Venus, despite being non-magnetized and less conductive due to lower ultraviolet flux at solar minimum, is capable of withstanding the solar wind under low dynamic pressure., (© 2022.

- Abstract
An efficient superhydrophobic concentrator is developed using a hierarchical superhydrophobic surface on which the evaporation of a sessile droplet (6 μL) drives the nonvolatile elements it contains on a predefined micrometric analytical surface (pedestal of 80 μm diameter). This hierarchical silicon surface exhibits a surface texture made of etched nanopillars and consists of micropillars and guiding lines, arranged in radial symmetry around the central pedestal. The guiding lines ensure the overall convergence of the sessile droplet toward the central pedestal during evaporation. The nanopillar texturing induced a delay in the Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel regime transition, until the edge of the droplet reaches the periphery of the pedestal. Experiments performed with polymer microparticles suspended in ultrapure water or with DNA molecules solubilized in ultrapure water at sub-fM concentrations demonstrated that the totality of the nonvolatile elements in the liquid microvolume is delivered on or close to the pedestal area, in a very reproducible manner. The very high concentration capacity of the device enabled the discrimination of the degree of purity of ultrapure water samples from different origins. The concentrator also turned out to be functional for raw water samples, opening possible applications to environmental analysis.

- Abstract
The dynamics of the Jovian magnetosphere are controlled by the interplay of the planet's fast rotation, its main iogenic plasma source and its interaction with the solar wind. Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (MIT) coupling processes controlling this interplay are significantly different from their Earth and Saturn counterparts. At the ionospheric level, they can be characterized by a set of key parameters: ionospheric conductances, electric currents and fields, exchanges of particles along field lines, Joule heating and particle energy deposition. From these parameters, one can determine (a) how magnetospheric currents close into the ionosphere, and (b) the net deposition/extraction of energy into/out of the upper atmosphere associated to MIT coupling. We present a new method combining Juno multi-instrument data (MAG, JADE, JEDI, UVS, JIRAM and Waves) and modeling tools to estimate these key parameters along Juno's trajectories. We first apply this method to two southern hemisphere main auroral oval crossings to illustrate how the coupling parameters are derived. We then present a preliminary statistical analysis of the morphology and amplitudes of these key parameters for eight among the first nine southern perijoves. We aim to extend our method to more Juno orbits to progressively build a comprehensive view of Jovian MIT coupling at the level of the main auroral oval., (© 2021 The Authors.)

- Abstract
The prediction of a supersonic solar wind
1 was first confirmed by spacecraft near Earth2,3 and later by spacecraft at heliocentric distances as small as 62 solar radii4 . These missions showed that plasma accelerates as it emerges from the corona, aided by unidentified processes that transport energy outwards from the Sun before depositing it in the wind. Alfvénic fluctuations are a promising candidate for such a process because they are seen in the corona and solar wind and contain considerable energy5-7 . Magnetic tension forces the corona to co-rotate with the Sun, but any residual rotation far from the Sun reported until now has been much smaller than the amplitude of waves and deflections from interacting wind streams8 . Here we report observations of solar-wind plasma at heliocentric distances of about 35 solar radii9-11 , well within the distance at which stream interactions become important. We find that Alfvén waves organize into structured velocity spikes with duration of up to minutes, which are associated with propagating S-like bends in the magnetic-field lines. We detect an increasing rotational component to the flow velocity of the solar wind around the Sun, peaking at 35 to 50 kilometres per second-considerably above the amplitude of the waves. These flows exceed classical velocity predictions of a few kilometres per second, challenging models of circulation in the corona and calling into question our understanding of how stars lose angular momentum and spin down as they age12-14 .- Published

- Abstract
In this study, we introduce a model to characterize electron scattering in an electrostatic analyzer. We show that electrons between 0.5 and 30 keV scatter from internal surfaces to produce a response up to ~20% of the ideal, unscattered response. We compare our model results to laboratory data from the Jovian Auroral Distribution Experiment-Electron sensor onboard the NASA Juno mission. Our model reproduces the measured energy-angle response of the instrument well. Understanding and quantifying this scattering process is beneficial to the analysis of scientific data as well as future instrument optimization.

- Abstract
We report data from the Cassini radio and plasma wave instrument during the approach and first orbit at Saturn. During the approach, radio emissions from Saturn showed that the radio rotation period is now 10 hours 45 minutes 45 +/- 36 seconds, about 6 minutes longer than measured by Voyager in 1980 to 1981. In addition, many intense impulsive radio signals were detected from Saturn lightning during the approach and first orbit. Some of these have been linked to storm systems observed by the Cassini imaging instrument. Within the magnetosphere, whistler-mode auroral hiss emissions were observed near the rings, suggesting that a strong electrodynamic interaction is occurring in or near the rings.

- Abstract
Radio emissions from Jupiter provided the first evidence that this giant planet has a strong magnetic field and a large magnetosphere. Jupiter also has polar aurorae, which are similar in many respects to Earth's aurorae. The radio emissions are believed to be generated along the high-latitude magnetic field lines by the same electrons that produce the aurorae, and both the radio emission in the hectometric frequency range and the aurorae vary considerably. The origin of the variability, however, has been poorly understood. Here we report simultaneous observations using the Cassini and Galileo spacecraft of hectometric radio emissions and extreme ultraviolet auroral emissions from Jupiter. Our results show that both of these emissions are triggered by interplanetary shocks propagating outward from the Sun. When such a shock arrives at Jupiter, it seems to cause a major compression and reconfiguration of the magnetosphere, which produces strong electric fields and therefore electron acceleration along the auroral field lines, similar to the processes that occur during geomagnetic storms at the Earth.
