dc.description.abstract | Jupiter's large scale size and rapid planetary rotation period combine to produce the strong centrifugal force responsible for many unique properties of its magnetosphere. It was previously proposed that this centrifugal force and nonadiabatic field line stretching could cause the observed dawn‐dusk asymmetry of Jupiter's plasma sheet, which is thickest near dusk. As flux tubes rotate and stretch between noon and dusk, particles bouncing along the field gain parallel energy and create pressure anisotropy. Because bounce times can be long compared with the outward expansion timescale, particles may respond nonadiabatically, and the resulting pressure anisotropy can drive the plasma sheet to instability. We used a large‐scale kinetic simulation to follow a collection of rotating particles as they move in a time‐varying, rotating magnetic field designed to represent flux tube expansion in Jupiter's magnetosphere. The analysis quantifies the response of trapped particles by characterizing the pressure anisotropy and energy changes. We compare results of nonadiabatic and adiabatic outward expansions and find that the nonadiabatic case leads to a large pitch angle anisotropy and higher total energy than for adiabatic expansion. Although the calculation was not handled fully self‐consistently, the results support the proposition that plasma pressure changes lead to changes in the magnetic field structure with local time. Our findings are consistent with the idea that nonadiabatic effects in Jupiter's magnetosphere contribute to field dipolarization and the observed plasma sheet thickening between noon and dusk. Key Points The centrifugal force accelerates particles during outward flux tube expansion Nonadiabatic flux tube expansion occurs at Jupiter between noon and dusk LT These effects can explain why Jupiter's plasma sheet thickens from 12 to 18 LT | en_US |
