説明

<jats:p>Voyager 1 and 2 magnetic field observations confirm and extend the earlier Pioneer 10 detection of the Jovian magnetodisc, a region of enhanced charged particles and plasma and reduced magnetic field intensity located near the magnetic equatorial plane. Modeling of the azimuthal current sheet by a finite thickness annulus of inner radius 5 <jats:italic>R<jats:sub>J</jats:sub></jats:italic>, 5‐<jats:italic>R<jats:sub>J</jats:sub></jats:italic> thickness, and extending to ∼50 <jats:italic>R<jats:sub>J</jats:sub></jats:italic> provides detailed fits of the vector magnetic field perturbations observed in relation to the planetary field for distances less than 30 <jats:italic>R<jats:sub>J</jats:sub></jats:italic>. Field line geometry is also investigated, and better insight into the phenomena of charged particle absorption by the Galilean satellites is obtained which provides improved explanations of observed effects due to Ganymede.</jats:p>
