摘要

On many of its passes through the Io torus the Galileo spacecraft has detected the presence of what appear to be thin magnetic flux tubes with fields somewhat higher than their surroundings. On these flux tubes the magnetic pressure is sufficiently above the pressure of neighboring tubes that it is possible the plasma contributions to the pressure within these tubes are depleted. Due to their short duration, they are only detectable in high time-resolution magnetometer data. Herein we survey all high time-resolution data that are available over the full Galileo mission and present a final statistical study. These tubes occupy 0.32% of the torus outside the orbit of Io. None are found inside. Their strength indicates that the ratio of the thermal pressure to magnetic pressure in the outer torus is about 2%. Comparison of the observed electron density in the neighborhood of these tubes indicates that the ion temperature is in the range 30-100 eV, consistent with other estimates. The amount of magnetic flux transported by these thin tubes could supply the amount of magnetic flux mass-loaded and transported to the magnetotail if the inward velocity is about 300 times that of the outward transport. Finally, the thin flux tubes are found in clusters, as they would occur if they resulted from the breakup of larger flux tubes.
