Jupiter revealed as a real (high-power) pulsar: magnetar- & dwarf novae-type prebursting evolution of Jovian global magnetoactivity since 1996

Creators

  • 1. Journal of Geophysics

Description

The decade-scale magnetoactivity evolution profile preceding short-burst pulses — observed in magnetar 4U 0142+61, and superhumps (superoutbursts) — in dwarf novae, emerged from mean least-squares spectra of mission-integrated Galileo–Cassini–Juno 1996–2020 annual samplings of Jupiter ⪅8nT global magnetic field. The profile revealed for the first time the pulsar nature of Jupiters by temporally mapping hyperlow-frequency (<1μHz) systematic dynamics of the magnetospheric signature in the solar wind (Rieger-resonance band of 385.8–64.3 nHz, or ~0.3·109–3·109 erg energetic perturbations) used as a proxy of Jovian magnetoactivity expressed in mean least-squares spectral magnitudes as a novel method for measuring relative field dynamics. The magnetoactivity impressed into the solar wind entirely, encompassing the well-known and Solar system-permeating ~154-day Rieger period and its first six harmonics. Statistical fidelity of spectral peaks stayed well within a very high (Φ≫12) range, 107–105, reflecting the signature’s completeness and incessantness. The magnetoactivity upsurge from spectral means that maintained a stunning ~20% field variance (total energy budget) began reformatting the signature around 1999, gradually transforming it into the anomalous state by 2002, as supported by an increased anisotropic splitting of spectral peaks. In contrast, a comparison against 2005–2016 Cassini global samplings revealed a calm Saturnian magnetoactivity at a low ⪅1% field variance except for every ~7.1 yrs., when it is ⪅5% due possibly to orbital–tidal forcing. The discovery of a global pulsation profile of magnetar–novae type in a planet demands beacon-orbiter missions to monitor Jupiter’s magnetoactivity and its disruption capacity, if any, to Solar-system infrastructure.

Notes

HIGHLIGHTS:
• First mission-integrated study of Jovian global magnetoactivity over decadal scales, using all available in situ data
• Computationally confirmed early claims that Jupiter resembles a pulsar by conclusively showing it is a real pulsar
• Discovery also revealed the exact manner in which Jupiters jump between the star and planet states
• The jump is moderated by a gradually varying sinusoidal energy dissipation regime seen in magnetars & dwarf novae
• The regime represents a part of the confirmed pre-outbursting sequence, calling for permanent monitoring missions
• First application of rigorous Gauss-Vaniček Spectral Analysis (GVSA) in global planetary & space physics
• GVSA revolutionizes space physics by rigorously simulating completed orbits & multiple spacecraft from a single spacecraft.
