An Analytical Two-Dimensional Model of the Planet’s Magnetosphere

  • Published:
Moscow University Physics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

A two-dimensional model of an arbitrary planet’s magnetosphere is constructed using conformal maps. It is assumed that its magnetopause has the shape of a paraboloid of rotation. Due to the fixed geometry of the magnetopause, the magnetic moments and the size of the magnetosphere can change independently of each other, which is an advantage of this model.
