Wave acceleration of electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts

Article Abstract:

The two regions encircling the Earth within which energetic particles are caught inside the Earth's magnetic field are the Van Allen radiation belts. Wave acceleration can increase the electron flux by more than three orders of magnitude and could also be important for Jupiter, Saturn and other objects of astrophysics with magnetic fields.

Too close for comfort

Article Abstract:

Three gas-giant planets discovered outside the Solar System have now been found with an orbit closer to its star. These 'hot Jupiters' makes it clear that the principles underlying the formation of planetary systems need to be further expanded and observed.
