IRAP[#Waves and #Plasma] Numerous #moons orbit #Jupiter, including #Io, whose volcanic activity causes the ejection of #matter and the formation of a magnetized #plasma disc—or #magnetodisc—in the equatorial plane of the gas giant.
How does the plasma in this magnetodisk manage to remain in a state of #equilibrium? By emitting waves, according to a new study based on data acquired by the #Juno probe, which has been orbiting #Jupiter since 2016.
