초록/해제  
요약Jupiter's magnetosphere features a strong intrinsic magnetic field, mass loading from its innermost moon Io, and rapid rotation of both plasma and the magnetic field with the planet. Driven by centrifugal force, plasma originating from Io accumulates near the equator, forming the thin, stretched plasma disk that exhibits a well-organized large-scale structure with localized dynamic processes. A key mechanism in this system is the outward transport of Io-genic plasma, facilitated by centrifugal instabilities when force balance within the plasma disk is disrupted. Since 2016, Juno has flown through the plasma disk at various radial distances, moving from dawn to dusk and collecting a vast amount of high resolution data, particularly thermal plasma data from the JADE instrument. This provides an excellent opportunity to conduct a global and comprehensive survey of the plasma disk. In this study, we explore the middle region between 10 and 50 Jupiter radii (RJ), which is minimally influenced by Jupiter's moons beyond Io and the solar wind. In the first part of the thesis, we develop a forward modeling method to derive the 3-D properties of thermal plasma using ion measurements from the Juno/JADE instrument. Assuming a kappa distribution, we first fit the TOF data to determine ion abundances. Then the abundances are used in fitting the SPECIES data to obtain plasma density, temperature, and 3-D bulk flow velocity. Applying this method to all available data from PJ5 to PJ56, we produce a comprehensive dataset consisting of 70,487 reliable fits, most of which are located near the magnetic equator. In the second part of the thesis, we study the global properties of the plasma disk using the large dataset. Based on 274 identified crossings, we find that plasma temperature increases and rigid corotation gradually breaks down with increasing radial distance. Along magnetic field lines, hotter and lighter ions with higher charge states extend farther and exhibit larger scale heights, consistent with the diffusive equilibrium model. The local time asymmetry within 40 RJ is modulated by the Vasyliunas cycle. On the dawn side, flux tubes are depleted and accelerated, exhibiting lower density, cooler, thinner disk. On the dusk side, flux tubes are assimilated with reduced velocity, forming a higher density, hotter, thicker disk. Hot, inward moving, super corotating flows appear in the pre-dawn sector, representing return flows from Vasyliunas cycle driven magnetic reconnection. We then calculate flux tube integrals to examine the system's stability. As two competing factors, flux tube entropy tends to stabilize the system, while content destabilizes it. On average, the entropy term dominates in the middle magnetosphere, resulting in a generally stable system for interchange motion. In the third part of the thesis, we investigate the dynamics and specific events within the plasma disk. The orbit-by-orbit analysis of Juno data reveals more than an order of magnitude difference in density between enhanced and depleted plasma disk states. The long-term correlation between Io's torus ribbon brightness and plasma disk density suggests that temporal variations in the plasma disk are modulated by changes in Io's torus, with a plasma transport timescale of ~40 days. A survey of 147 cold, dense plasma blobs suggests they originate from localized ballooning motion or rapid flux tube interchange. Ballooning events occur primarily in the dawn sector beyond 25 RJ, while interchange events, found within 35 RJ, feature alternating cold, dense outflows and hot, tenuous inflows. We also examine two super-corotating flow events that exceed 120% of rigid corotation, occurring at the nightside equator within 30 RJ. The flows are accompanied by features of flux rope-like plasmoids or magnetic field dipolarization, suggesting that they may be accelerated by magnetic reconnection. Finally, we analyze a unique reconnection event at 23 RJ, occurring within a thin current sheet formed by the collision and twisting of two distinct flux tubes. This is the innermost reconnection event observed to date and the first confirmed ion diffusion region observation at Jupiter from the presence of the Hall magnetic field. The event also provides the first observational evidence for localized flux tube interchange driven reconnection. All the above findings enhance our understanding of Jupiter's dynamic plasma disk, particularly the centrifugally driven dynamics that play a crucial role in shaping the disk and driving the outward transport of Io-genic plasma.
