Ideas, Inventions And Innovations : New Research Reveals Secret To Jupiter s Curious Aurora Activity

Ideas, Inventions And Innovations New Research Reveals Secret To Jupiter’s Curious Aurora Activity Auroral displays continue to intrigue scientists, whether the bright lights shine over Earth or over another planet. The lights hold clues to the makeup of a planet’s magnetic field and how that field operates. New research about Jupiter proves that point and adds to the intrigue.  Credit: NASA Peter Delamere, a professor of space physics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, is among an international team of 13 researchers who have made a key discovery related to the aurora of our solar system’s largest planet.

New research reveals secret to Jupiter s curious aurora activity

 E-Mail Auroral displays continue to intrigue scientists, whether the bright lights shine over Earth or over another planet. The lights hold clues to the makeup of a planet s magnetic field and how that field operates. New research about Jupiter proves that point and adds to the intrigue. Peter Delamere, a professor of space physics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, is among an international team of 13 researchers who have made a key discovery related to the aurora of our solar system s largest planet. The team s work was published April 9, 2021, in the journal Science Advances. The research paper, titled How Jupiter s unusual magnetospheric topology structures its aurora, was written by Binzheng Zhang of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Hong Kong; Delamere is the primary co-author.

National Science Foundation funds creation of research observatory at Gakona

Posted April 6th, 2021 for Geophysical Institute April 06, 2021 / Rod Boyce A five-year, $9.3 million National Science Foundation grant will allow the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute to establish a new research observatory dedicated to exploring Earth’s upper atmosphere and geospace environment. The Subauroral Geophysical Observatory for Space Physics and Radio Science will be housed at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program site in Gakona, Alaska.  The facility’s 33-acre Ionospheric Research Instrument will be the centerpiece of the new observatory. A second NSF-funded project will add a lidar at the site, which will allow the study of other regions of the upper atmosphere. A lidar sends pulses of laser light to determine the composition, temperature and structure of regions of the upper atmosphere from 90 to 150 kilometers.
