In an article published in Nature , a team of researchers presents a unifying model that describes the mechanisms of acceleration of charged particles forming cosmic rays. This model links the maximum energy of accelerated particles to the spatial scale of supersonic shock in the medium. This discovery, based on data from NASA's Juno probe in orbit around Jupiter , challenges conventional theory and could shed light on the enigmatic origin of co…
Why is Jupiter accelerating electrons near relativistic speeds?
Jupiter’s bow shock can act as a particle accelerator Recent Juno findings describe Jupiter’s bow shock as a region that accelerates charged particles to relativistic energies. As Jupiter moves through the solar wind, its magnetosphere distorts the flow and creates a shock boundary where particles…
