• Saturn's polar ionospheric flows and their relation to the main auroral oval (2003, positive): “To estimate the acceleration requirements, we use the kinetic theory presented by Knight (1973) (see also the discussion in Cowley and Bunce, 2001).”
• Dynamical consequences of two modes of centrifugal instability in Jupiter's outer magnetosphere (2004, background): “Finally, as the outer portion of the plasmasheet moves inward, its rotation should speed up and it should become easier for the ionospheric torque to maintain rotation on a shortened flux tube [Southwood and Kivelson, 2001; Cowley and Bunce, 2001].”
• Jupiter's main auroral oval observed with HST-STIS (2003, background): “[4] Estimation of the field-aligned currents [Cowley and Bunce, 2001] suggests the existence of field-aligned voltages of the order of 100 kV responsible for the acceleration of primary auroral electrons to 100 keV, giving rise to an auroral brightness in the main oval on the order of a few MR, in…”
• Plasma interactions of exoplanets with their parent star and associated radio emissions (2006, background): “…for Saturn), (ii) magnetic reconnection following magnetotail field pinching (Dungey, 1961), (iii) magnetospheric plasma corotation breakdown (see Cowley and Bunce, 2001, for Jupiter), (iv) magnetopause surface waves (see Galopeau et al., 1995, at Saturn), or (v) interaction between conducting…”
• 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].”
