Jupiter has a powerful magnetic field and NASAs Juno mission uncovered plasma waves that defy current understanding of planetary magnetospheres. These plasma waves are ripples or oscillations propagating through a sea of charged particles in a planet’s magnetosphere. Rapid, high frequency oscillations of negatively charged electrons are known as Langmuir waves. Slower oscillations of heavy ions, atoms stripped of one or more electrons, are known as Alfven waves. The electric and magnetic field outside the atmosphere of Jupiter forms a region very similar to Earth’s Van Allen radiation belt. The results from Juno appear to blend or blur the lines between Langmuir and Alfven waves, over the North Pole of the planet.

The researchg Focuses on a single one of them, associated, it is thought, with a supernova, or the death of a massive star. A geyser of high energy particles, otherwise a jet, seems to have produced the x-rays. We are then told that supernovae more commonly produce gamma ray bursts. These are described as the most powerful and luminous explosions in the universe. The supernova event, presumably – identified by the gamma ray burst. When the jets are stifled they emit lower levels of energy that astronomers detect as x-rays. Are they on to something?
