Аннотация:The Jovian paraboloid magnetospheric model is
applied for the investigation of the planet’s auroral emission
and plasma disk structure in the middle magnetosphere.
Jupiter’s auroral emission demonstrates the electrodynamic
coupling between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. For
comparison of different regions in the ionospheric level and
in the magnetosphere, the paraboloid model of the global
magnetospheric magnetic field is used. This model provides
mapping along highly-conducting magnetic field lines. The
paraboloid magnetic field model is also applied for consideration
of the stability of the background plasma disk in the
rotating Jupiter magnetosphere with respect to the flute perturbations.
Model radial distribution of the magnetic field
and experimental data on the plasma angular velocity in the
middle Jovian magnetosphere are used. A dispersion relation
of the plasma perturbations in the case of a perfectly conducting
ionosphere is obtained. Analyzing starting conditions of
a flute instability in the disk, the “threshold” radial profile of
the plasma density is determined. An application of the results
obtained to the known data on the Jovian plasma disk is
discussed.
