• Jupiter's main auroral oval observed with HST-STIS (2003, background): “It has been recently proposed [Cowley and Bunce, 2001; Hill, 2001; Southwood and Kivelson, 2001] that the main auroral oval may be interpreted as the ionospheric footprint of the upward Birkeland current (downward electron beam) that enforces partial corotation of magnetospheric plasma moving outwar”
• Jupiter's polar auroral emissions (2003, background): “Three independent papers [Bunce and Cowley, 2001; Hill, 2001; Southwood and Kivelson, 2001] suggest that the main jovian auroral oval is connected with the magnetosphereionosphere coupling current system associated with the breakdown of rigid corotation in the middle magnetosphere region.”
• Response of Jupiter's and Saturn's auroral activity to the solar wind (2009, background): “At Jupiter, the dense outward drifting plasma reaches a distance where corotation with the magnetic field can no longer be enforced, leading to strong currents in and out of the polar ionosphere and bright auroral emissions [Hill, 2001; Cowley and Bunce, 2001; Southwood and Kivelson, 2001].”
• Jupiter's polar ionospheric flows: Theoretical interpretation (2003, background): “…currents are then joined by field-aligned currents which flow outward from the ionosphere into the current sheet throughout this region, which have been suggested to be associated with the main oval auroras [Bunce and Cowley, 2001b; Cowley and Bunce, 2001; Hill, 2001; Southwood and Kivelson, 2001].”
• Simultaneous Chandra X ray, Hubble Space Telescope Ultraviolet, and Ulysses Radio Observations of Jupiter's Aurora (2005, background): “This Birkeland current connects to radially outward currents in the middle magnetosphere where the plasma begins to depart from corotation [cf. Hill, 2001; Bunce and Cowley, 2001; Southwood and Kivelson, 2001; Cowley et al., 2003a, 2003b].”
• X-rays from solar system objects (2007, background): “…that the shears generated in the plasma corotation break down region of the middle magnetosphere were likely responsible for the auroral generation (Hill, 2001; Bunce and Cowley, 2001), but this implied an electron precipitation source for the ultraviolet aurora that seemed incompatible with the…”
• Saturn's polar ionospheric flows and their relation to the main auroral oval (2003, unknown): “No detailed self-consistent dynamical models of these processes have yet been proposed for Saturn as they have for Jupiter (e.g. Hill, 1979, 2001; Pontius, 1997; Cowley et al., 2002; Nichols and Cowley, 2003).”
• A simple quantitative model of plasma flows and currents in Saturn's polar ionosphere (2004, background): “Huang and Hill [1989] in the jovian context), we may write for some 0 < k <1 (whose value is at present uncertain)”
