Summary: Juno satellite observations have shown significant levels of electron energization, reaching up to 10⁵-10⁶ eV. To explain these observations, a hybrid gyrofluid kinetic-electron model is used in an untilted dipolar topology, illustrating high energization in weak current conditions through inertial Alfven waves close to the Jupiter ionosphere. This is achieved with ambient plasma densities and magnetic field perturbations inferred from Juno satellite data. The key factor enabling the high energization is the extremely low densities observed, requiring the acceleration of electrons to very high velocities to carry the field-aligned current.

Summary: The Juno Waves instrument measured Jovian electron densities at high latitudes on magnetic field lines threading the Io torus and plasma sheet. Multiple characteristic frequencies of the plasma were identified, providing credibility to the density estimates. Evidence of density dropouts near and poleward of the auroral oval were found, suggesting the importance in auroral particle acceleration.

Summary: Efficient boundary conditions with low spurious reflection are essential for modeling free-surface waves, and this study introduces a new depth-varying coefficient adaptation of the classical Sommerfeld condition. The improved boundary condition is implemented in OpenFoam(R) and shown to be effective for various types of waves.

Summary: This study presents the first results from a numerical model that describes the propagation of Alfven waves in the interaction between Io and Jupiter's corotating magnetosphere. The model includes a dense plasma torus and is based on magnetic dipole coordinates. Results show the dependence of the interaction on magnetospheric density and consider the conductance of Jupiter's ionosphere. Current patterns indicate a U-shaped footprint due to the generation of field-aligned current, which may be related to the structure of the auroral footprint observed by Juno in the infrared. The model suggests that the main auroral footprints of Io can generate parallel potentials of up to 100 kV.

Summary: During thermal annealing at 1425 degrees C, nominal electric field strengths of 50 V/mm and 150 V/mm were applied along the grain boundary planes of a near 45 degrees (100) twist grain boundary in SrTiO3. Interface expansions of approximately 0.8 nm were observed near the positive electrode for both field strengths. However, annealing at 50 V/mm resulted in a decrease in interface width to around 0.4 nm, while higher field strength caused decomposition of the boundary structure close to the negative electrode. The migration of oxygen due to the applied electric field leads to the observed alteration of grain boundary structures, and at high field strengths, the agglomeration of anion vacancies can cause grain boundary decomposition.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of externally applied electric fields on the dynamics and parameters of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet using a 2D computational approach. It is found that positive voltage pulses increase the IW velocity, while negative voltage pulses decrease it, and the modulation of IW morphology depends on the ratio of ignition/external voltages.

Summary: The sensitivity response of TKX-50 under electric fields along different directions was investigated using first-principles calculations. The results revealed that the stability of TKX-50 is reduced with increased electric fields, and TKX-50 is most sensitive when the electric field is applied in the [010] direction. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that TKX-50 undergoes decomposition under electric fields along the [010] and [100] directions due to hydrogen transfer, while it may experience structural rearrangement under electric fields along the [001] direction.

The study found that the presence of a transverse equilibrium electric field can drastically change the wave propagation when the wave frequency is close to the plasma Langmuir frequency.

Summary: This work presents the results of a direct numerical simulation of the nonlinear free surface evolution of a finite-depth fluid with a linear shear flow under the action of horizontal electric fields. The study shows that strong shear flow can lead to the formation of large-amplitude surface waves and wave breaking, while oppositely directed shear flow causes retrograde motion of surface waves. However, a high enough external electric field suppresses these nonlinear processes and preserves the shape of surface waves.

Summary: Three new methods for estimating the ratio of the equatorial electric field amplitude in Earth's magnetosphere to ground magnetic field amplitudes were described, with spectral method proving to be the most accurate. The differences in results are due to off-resonant frequencies affecting time series amplitudes.

Summary: This study investigates the propagation characteristics of EMEC waves in kappa-Maxwellian distributed plasmas, finding that the electric field stimulates growth rate and trapped electron speed threshold dominates the effect of the parallel electric field. The electric field acts as a source of free energy, enabling growth even in the absence of trapped electron drift speed.
