Contents
2023 GEM Summer Workshop
COmparative Planetary Magnetospheric Processes (COMP) focus group will hold 2 stand-alone sessions and 2 joint sessions.
COMP Session 1 (10:30 am–12 pm Monday, June 12, Rm A)
Exploring the parameter space of magnetospheric physics
10:30 Overview of FG
10:40 Scene Setting Talk: magnetospheric dynamics and reconnection (Dan Gershman)
10:55 Grant Stephens: magnetic field modeling of Mercury, Earth, & Saturn
11:05 Ryan Dewey: Mercury's dawn-dusk magnetotail asymmetries and their relationship with magnetic activity
11:15 Xuanye Ma: Review of the KHI at the different planets
Open discussion: what are the big questions that can be addressed by exploring the vast physical parameter space within our solar system? (Co-chairs, Fran Bagenal, Bob Lysak)
11:25 Some elements to consider: Modeling capabilities; maturity of topic & data sets; relevance to comparative planetary needs/topics
11:55 Summary and future endeavors
