摘要

这项研究分析了高能中性原子(ENAs)的发射,这是由高能质子和木卫三大气之间的电荷交换产生的。我们还用航天器上的成像仪器限制了这类ea的可观测性。我们的方法使用追踪工具来计算木卫三附近磁层母质子的轨迹。我们通过一个假想的环绕月球大气层的球形探测器来确定ENA的通量。我们还生成了合成的ENA图像,由具有有限视场的点状探测器看到。木卫三电磁环境的复杂性不断增加;我们考虑(i)均匀的木星场,(ii)卫星内部偶极子与木星场的叠加,以及(iii)从木卫三等离子体相互作用的混合模型中获得的覆盖场。我们的主要结果是:(a)在均匀场中,探测器球体上的ENA通量在一个圆形带内升高。合成的ENA图像记录了月球边缘附近的一个高通量星团,这个增强的位置由观测几何形状决定。(b)当包括木卫三的内部偶极子时,通过球体的通量在ramside顶点以上显示局部增加,主要是由中纬度开放场线上的质子产生的。在合成图像中,来自封闭场线区域的减少的ENA排放产生了沿赤道的局部通量消耗。(c)木星磁场的堆积大大减少了来自木卫三侧面大气的ENA通量。(d)在能量高于几个千电子伏特时,木卫三大气的辐射明显超过了从木卫三表面释放的ENA通量。

Emission of Energetic Neutral Atoms From Ganymede's Magnetosphere-Atmosphere Interaction

Emission of Energetic Neutral Atoms From Ganymede's Magnetosphere-Atmosphere Interaction

This study analyzes the emission of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), generated by charge exchange between energetic protons and Ganymede's atmosphere. We also constrain the observability of such ENAs by an imaging instrument aboard a spacecraft. Our approach employs tracing tools that calculate the trajectories of magnetospheric parent protons near Ganymede. We determine the ENA flux through a hypothetical spherical detector encompassing the moon's atmosphere. We additionally generate synthetic ENA images, as seen by a point-like detector with a finite field of view. The complexity of Ganymede's electromagnetic environment is successively increased; we consider (i) uniform Jovian fields, (ii) the superposition of the moon's internal dipole with Jupiter's field, and (iii) draped fields from a hybrid model of Ganymede's plasma interaction. Our major results are: (a) In uniform fields, the ENA flux is elevated within a circular band on the detector sphere. Synthetic ENA images record a cluster of high flux near the moon's limb, with the position of this enhancement determined by the viewing geometry. (b) When including Ganymede's internal dipole, the flux through the sphere displays a localized increase above the ramside apex, mainly generated by protons on open field lines at mid-latitudes. In the synthetic images, the reduced ENA emissions from the closed field line region produce local flux depletions along the equator. (c) Pile-up of Jupiter's field significantly reduces the ENA flux from Ganymede's ramside atmosphere. (d) At energies above several keV, the emissions from Ganymede's atmosphere clearly exceed the ENA flux released from the moon's surface.
