Dust Plasma Interactions at Jupiter

This is a review of recent in situ and remote sensing observations, and theoretical advances of our understanding dust plasma interactions in Jupiter's magnetosphere. Dust grains exposed to plasmas and UV radiation collect electrostatic charges and their dynamics can be altered due to electric and magnetic fields. Hence, magnetospheric effects can shape the size and spatial distributions of micron sized and smaller dust grains. The ring/halo region, the dust streams and the captured ring at Jupiter are recent examples where dust plasma interaction effects can best explain the observations. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
