Fieldlines - equatorial slice

Field Lines – Equatorial Slice
by Adam Shinn

These animated field lines were generated with Krishan Khurana’s magnetic field model in fortran and plotted in JSS (de-spun system 3 coordinates) in the XY plane. The dashed lines represent the field lines that hit the magnetopause boundary. The movie runs through two rotations of Jupiter.
