1 00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:03,110 today's speaker in the astrobiology 2 00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:05,600 seminar series this quarter is robert 3 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:06,799 wing lee 4 00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:09,360 he is a graduate of the university of 5 00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:10,480 sydney 6 00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:13,599 in australia not 7 00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,759 nova scotia 8 00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:17,920 he got his phd at the university of 9 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:20,960 sydney in australia not nova scotia 10 00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:23,279 you may think that this is a bit 11 00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:25,600 incestuous and inbred but 12 00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:28,480 this is common in australia i got my phd 13 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:29,519 from the 14 00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:30,960 same institution that i got my 15 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:33,040 bachelor's degree 16 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:34,960 robert is in 17 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,960 earth and space sciences department he's 18 00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:38,640 currently chair 19 00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:41,280 he's in the space physics group with 20 00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:44,079 within earth and space sciences and his 21 00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:45,600 interests are 22 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:47,840 planetary magnetospheres 23 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,840 and also 24 00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,320 exotic and novel and innovative 25 00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:55,280 spacecraft propulsion mechanisms he's 26 00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:58,719 going to talk to us today about um 27 00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:01,039 magnetosphere 28 00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,080 effects in the saturn titan system 29 00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:06,560 robert thank you roger yeah so we're 30 00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:08,320 going to talk a little bit about the 31 00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,280 saturn 32 00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:11,439 titan system 33 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,240 and while the photos 34 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:16,320 would typically indicate that these 35 00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,920 systems are fairly benign and 36 00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,680 non-coupled 37 00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:21,680 they are in fact coupled 38 00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:23,280 due to 39 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:24,080 the 40 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:30,960 i'd like to first talk about what satin 41 00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,600 looks like and then tap tighten and then 42 00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:35,759 how they become coupled 43 00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:36,799 so 44 00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:38,640 you have satin there 45 00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:42,240 gas giant mainly hydrogen helium 46 00:01:48,389 --> 00:01:45,360 and a little bit of ammonia 47 00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:48,399 uh even ice methane and water ice 48 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:49,840 present there 49 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,040 and there's some question whether it 50 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,600 actually has a rocky core or not but 51 00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:55,200 potential he 52 00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,799 potentially has a rocky core 53 00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,399 very cold 54 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:03,280 it also has a magnetic field 55 00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:05,280 and that sets up 56 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:06,719 aurora so if you actually peek on the 57 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:09,119 bottom side of satin 58 00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:10,800 you would actually see 59 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:13,920 that it has aurora this much similar to 60 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:16,319 our earth's terrestrial aurora 61 00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:17,520 present 62 00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:19,520 and this arises because of its magnetic 63 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,200 field which then we can sort of uh and 64 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:25,520 then when it interacts well it's ionized 65 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,400 partly by solar uv coming in 66 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:30,640 also by the precipitation of energetic 67 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:32,640 particles which then go to making the 68 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:35,120 aurora so what we have here is not just 69 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,400 the planet 70 00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,560 and its rings but there's a whole lot of 71 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,560 material sitting out here that is 72 00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:42,720 invisible to white light 73 00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:46,319 and it is this uh system that sets up a 74 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,000 magnetosphere and we're interested in 75 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:52,720 these kinds of processes because aurora 76 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,000 actually provide remote sensing for the 77 00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:58,239 planetary body so 78 00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,280 this acts like a phosphor screen so far 79 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:02,959 as it tells us what's actually out here 80 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,519 in space but it also tells us something 81 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,760 about what's actually at the planet 82 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:09,599 through the uv emissions so if you could 83 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:10,480 actually 84 00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:13,280 uh do spectral resolution on those 85 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,720 aurora you'd actually know something 86 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,480 about the material app up in the upper 87 00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:18,480 atmosphere so it's a means of remote 88 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:20,640 sensing 89 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:23,120 the magnetosphere itself looks something 90 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,239 like 91 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:26,400 this so here's satin again 92 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:30,400 with its rings it has its magnetic field 93 00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,920 uh present and 94 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:35,120 uh 95 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:39,680 is aligned with the rotational axis but 96 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,159 the rotational axis and is tilted 97 00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:43,680 towards the solar wind so actually the 98 00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:47,599 solar wind is coming in and this the 99 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,319 satin here is a little bit tilted so 100 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:52,319 actually the bottom side 101 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:53,840 has in this figure here a little bit 102 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,200 better access to the solar wind than the 103 00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,519 northern hemisphere 104 00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,439 and what happens here is that these are 105 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,519 charged particles coming in they see the 106 00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:05,920 influence of the magnetic field causes 107 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:08,239 it to become compressed 108 00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,159 on the 109 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:12,239 day side or the side facing the sun and 110 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,760 we have this elongated magneto tail uh 111 00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,919 stretching out here so that's our 112 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:19,919 magnetosphere and again we talked about 113 00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:22,479 the aurora being present 114 00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,759 now little titan is sitting 115 00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,440 out here at 20 116 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:29,199 uh 117 00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:31,120 saturnian radii 118 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:33,199 where one saturnian rate is about 60 000 119 00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,160 kilometers and it sits just about inside 120 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,880 the magnetosphere just at the very edge 121 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:40,800 of this system here 122 00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:44,080 and so saturn is rotating 123 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:46,400 at about 10.6 hours so it's sweeping 124 00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:47,520 plasma 125 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:50,240 around and into titan 126 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,960 so this little titan sitting there 127 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:54,479 it's the uh 128 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:56,080 we're interested in it is the second 129 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:58,320 largest moon and solar system 130 00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:01,440 one of three or depending on how you 131 00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:04,880 count it with thick atmosphere 132 00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:07,600 and that's where the original interest 133 00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:08,960 for titan 134 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,600 was that it had a composition that was 135 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,120 different from sentence and in fact 136 00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:15,520 something that looked presumably like 137 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,400 the uh primeval or the first atmosphere 138 00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:21,120 of our earth 139 00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:24,800 so it has roughly 90 percent nitrogen 140 00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:26,000 pressure 141 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:27,600 uh ten percent 142 00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,310 uh like i said this is presumed to be 143 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,960 very close to our our atmosphere 144 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:38,400 pressure is actually similar to our 145 00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,080 earth atmosphere a little bit larger 146 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:44,080 it has a rocky interior 147 00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:46,240 silicates present 148 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:47,120 uh 149 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:48,880 as well 150 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:51,360 as water ice the main difference between 151 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:53,120 this system and our earth is of course 152 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,560 the temperature 153 00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,880 where it's exceptionally cold 154 00:06:00,950 --> 00:05:58,479 and instead of having 155 00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:00,960 lakes of 156 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,600 presumably ethane and methane so this is 157 00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:07,680 one of the latest pictures from the 158 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:10,400 cassini mission where these areas here 159 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,840 are thought to be 160 00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,280 uh lakes 161 00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:15,919 of ethanol methane so they're smooth 162 00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:16,960 different 163 00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,240 reflectivity 164 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,479 than the other surface material so 165 00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:24,400 that's where it was originally became 166 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:26,319 of interest did you just point out this 167 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,430 this lineage 168 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,309 so at titan it's a little guy so even 169 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,000 though it's one of the biggest 170 00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:40,160 uh moons uh it's 171 00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,160 2500 2600 kilometers a radius 172 00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:46,319 so it's actually fairly large if you put 173 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:49,039 it to our earth our earth is six 174 00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:50,800 thousand three hundred and seventy so 175 00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,120 kilometers so it's a fair size of the 176 00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:57,909 it's thick atmosphere 177 00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,319 uh is subject to ionization so it has a 178 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,479 charge layer around it it has no 179 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:04,560 intrinsic magnetic field 180 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:05,280 but 181 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:07,360 the the magnetic field from saturn 182 00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,639 sweets by 183 00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:10,639 associated with it so the blue lines 184 00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:11,520 here 185 00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:12,800 uh 186 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:14,720 actually got this yeah our magnetic 187 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,759 field lines from saturn they come in 188 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:19,680 they see a conductor they bend around it 189 00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,080 to produce this comet like 190 00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,400 kind of feature and the plasma flow 191 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,639 comes in and around and bends and you 192 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,039 have charged particles gyrating about 193 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,639 these magnetic fields 194 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:32,880 so you have a difference in plasma 195 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:35,599 uh you have hydrogen 196 00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:37,680 maybe some 197 00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:40,479 light ions like uh 198 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,120 nitrogen or oxygen coming in 199 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,520 you may have a series of different kinds 200 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:47,440 of heavy ions coming 201 00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,240 out 202 00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:50,720 of titan so you have the opportunity to 203 00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:53,199 see different ions which again gives you 204 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,560 a chance to 205 00:07:57,749 --> 00:07:56,639 provide remote sensing 206 00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:57,759 you know 207 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,319 speeds of the plasma coming in here are 208 00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:03,120 about 130 kilometers coming in 209 00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:04,639 uh which is slower than the solar wind 210 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,879 which is about 400 or so kilometers per 211 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:08,160 second 212 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:10,479 we're talking about 213 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:13,199 magnetic filters mildly weak 214 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,240 but still philly enough to produce some 215 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:18,240 strong 216 00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:20,720 modification of the system and we have 217 00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:22,960 coming into 218 00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:25,520 titan about 10 or 25 10 or 26 ions per 219 00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:28,160 second moving into that system you 220 00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:29,680 should remind us how many nano tesla the 221 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,399 earth's field is uh 30 000 nano teslas 222 00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,560 so it's one ten thousandths of the 223 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,560 terrestrial magnetic field 224 00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:37,760 so even though it's small well the 225 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,240 demonstrator actually has uh substantial 226 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,640 impact for how titan and saturn couple 227 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:44,720 together how big 228 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,600 it is 229 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,200 uh 230 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,279 i've forgotten it exactly that much it's 231 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,959 uh a few 232 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,720 i think it's almost i think it's 233 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:54,640 terrestrial terrestrial-like isn't it 234 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,070 and i always forgot to to mention that a 235 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:03,600 lot of this work is done in 236 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:06,320 collaboration with darcy snowden who is 237 00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:09,360 working on titan aria who was working on 238 00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,200 the saturn system we got to do my 239 00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:13,279 acknowledgments at the beginning 240 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:15,920 saturn is also very interesting 241 00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:17,040 because 242 00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:18,800 it has another source of plasma 243 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:20,320 enceladus 244 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:23,200 which is um 245 00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:28,230 titan 246 00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:30,800 it has these cracks and it's 247 00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:35,279 recently believed to have uh 248 00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:38,640 uh plumes of gas coming off the southern 249 00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:42,000 hemisphere through cryovolcanism and so 250 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,240 this is thought to be actually one of 251 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,720 the significant sources of of plasma so 252 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:48,880 it comes out as neutrals coming out of 253 00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:51,839 the volcano but is eventually ionized 254 00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,440 through some of the plasma circulating 255 00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:56,160 along and this guy here 256 00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:58,959 is then feeding plasma into the system 257 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,279 and this guy is feeding a different set 258 00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:03,920 of ions into the system it's feeding in 259 00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:05,839 primarily water group 260 00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:07,920 ions into the system so if you could 261 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:11,279 again image or pick up the uv 262 00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,240 uh 263 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:14,160 from these ionization processes you'd 264 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:16,240 have a chance to remote sense the 265 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:18,800 different uh planets or moons around 266 00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:21,360 these systems 267 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:23,040 so we have to include that that source 268 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:24,240 as well 269 00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:25,839 so here's a sort of a cartoon it's 270 00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:29,360 believed that the enceladus 271 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:33,440 uh volcanoes are driven by tidal heating 272 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:36,160 you have some some inner core here which 273 00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:41,269 causes some of the ice to melt here 274 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,279 breaks through the crack 275 00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:45,680 and again we're talking 276 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,600 just above freezing here 277 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:49,680 at small very slow temperatures and then 278 00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,320 comes out as h2 water vapor and ice 279 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:54,399 particles moving out 280 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,760 into it 281 00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:57,040 although i don't know whether they've 282 00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,920 actually 283 00:11:02,470 --> 00:10:59,839 determined why it's coming out of the 284 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:02,480 south pole yet but 285 00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:05,279 still a very interesting system 286 00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:11,590 some other applications or what we're 287 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:13,600 going to look at if you look at some of 288 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,000 the extra solar planets you you know you 289 00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:19,360 have solar-like stars here and then what 290 00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:21,040 you you're typically seeing is 291 00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:24,720 jovian-like planets uh closer in to less 292 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:28,640 than an iu or so 293 00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:31,200 if you were to 294 00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:33,920 look at the ratios of the systems 295 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:36,160 for example here's our planetary 60 296 00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,680 system of 60 000 kilometers 297 00:11:43,150 --> 00:11:41,360 and you have 298 00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:43,160 your titan of 299 00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:47,200 2575 kilometers the ratio between the 300 00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:50,160 the planet and the moon is about 23 to 1 301 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,800 and our orbital position is at about 20 302 00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:54,959 uh saturnian radii 303 00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:57,360 so if i take a typical star let's call 304 00:12:02,230 --> 00:11:59,440 it 700 kilometers or so 305 00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:02,240 it'd be our extra uh solar planet then 306 00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:05,519 if it's jobin-like call it uh jovian so 307 00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:08,240 70 000 kilometers so the ratio of your 308 00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:10,240 star to the planet here would be about 309 00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:12,639 10 to 1. so this ratio here 310 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:13,519 is 311 00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:17,200 convert your 312 00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:18,720 au 313 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:21,120 into planetary 314 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:22,160 solar 315 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:24,880 or stellar radii you're about 20. so 316 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,399 in fact you could actually 317 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:28,320 say that the scaling between 318 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,040 the saturnian system is very much 319 00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:33,519 similar to uh 320 00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:35,440 the extrasolar systems where you have 321 00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:36,800 these kinds 322 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,160 of ratios and distance scales 323 00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:45,590 um we actually have another analog in 324 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:48,000 our own system the jovian system 325 00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:51,600 uh 70 000 kilometers if we take io 326 00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:53,519 which is smaller radius at one eighteen 327 00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,360 hundred kilometers 328 00:12:59,430 --> 00:12:57,200 uh but the ratio of 329 00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,440 jupiter to io is about thirty nine to 330 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:01,680 one all the distances about six much 331 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:05,040 slightly closer in go to ganymede uh two 332 00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:08,160 thousand 2 630 kilometers your ratio is 333 00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:10,880 26 to 1 and your orbital parameter is 334 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:13,040 15. so 335 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:15,040 there are very similar systems moving 336 00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:16,800 out ganymede of course is different from 337 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:19,519 titan in that it has a magnetic field to 338 00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,200 to play around with but again you can 339 00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:24,000 sort of see that there's a sort of 340 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:26,800 similarity between the ratio 341 00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:32,550 there is an example up here 342 00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:34,880 that's allegedly associated one of these 343 00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,519 extrasolar planets uh they've 344 00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:39,440 claimed to have indicated that there's a 345 00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:42,160 sunspot or brightening on the solar so 346 00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:44,720 the plants the stellar surface 347 00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:47,200 associated with the rotation of the 348 00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:50,160 orbital body so even at these ratios 349 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:52,000 there is some indication that there can 350 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:54,399 be feedback between 351 00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:56,880 the big guy and a little 352 00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:58,720 oh god whether that's a 353 00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:00,160 solid planet or whether it's a moon 354 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:02,480 around a gas giant so there are these 355 00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:05,760 analog processes that could be occurring 356 00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:08,800 at the extra solar system 357 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:10,240 systems 358 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:11,120 and 359 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:13,680 ganymede is a more famous 360 00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:16,639 example of this alleged coupling 361 00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:19,839 here so here's jupiter here's a close-up 362 00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:20,959 of 363 00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,120 its aurora 364 00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,160 and so what they see are three so this 365 00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,399 is the auroral pattern going off 366 00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:30,240 and you'll see these three other spots 367 00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:31,519 here one 368 00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:32,720 two 369 00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:33,680 three 370 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:34,480 this 371 00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:36,959 is believed to be io's footpoint 372 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,920 europa and ganometes footpoint so that 373 00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:41,519 the moons here 374 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:42,959 at jupiter 375 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,680 are actually talking to the jupiter 376 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:47,440 jupiter modifying this plasma 377 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,920 environment so again you have some means 378 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:51,839 of remote sensing here 379 00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:52,560 so 380 00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,120 again the the idea is that these moons 381 00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:57,360 are moving through the magnetic field of 382 00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:59,279 jupiter 383 00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:01,760 modifying its magnetic field 384 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:03,519 moving around these these field lines 385 00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:05,600 that map into jupiter's 386 00:15:10,829 --> 00:15:08,240 high latitude regions causing 387 00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:13,990 emissions and it's unclear whether 388 00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:14,880 uh 389 00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:16,240 kaliso 390 00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:19,040 has a footprint because it's right in 391 00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:20,880 the auroral oval and so they've not been 392 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:22,720 able to distinguish a separate 393 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:26,000 kalisto signature 394 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,920 so in these things this is a nice pretty 395 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:30,000 picture that we're headed towards 396 00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:31,040 is 397 00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:35,199 they can actually see here 398 00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:38,160 at the auroral oval 399 00:15:42,790 --> 00:15:39,839 with the local 400 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:42,800 sensory measurements 401 00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:45,360 uh by galileo for example we know that 402 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:48,240 plasma is being stripped off these moons 403 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,040 uh moving up the field line and 404 00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:53,279 communicating energetic particles into 405 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,240 the auroral regions to produce this kind 406 00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:58,079 of coupled systems between the two of 407 00:16:01,749 --> 00:15:59,279 them 408 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:01,759 so our job what we started to do 409 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:04,160 was ask the question whether the same 410 00:16:06,829 --> 00:16:05,440 kind 411 00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:06,839 of plasma 412 00:16:11,189 --> 00:16:09,040 interaction occurs 413 00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:11,199 at titan 414 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:13,759 and how does that go towards stripping 415 00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:16,560 whether we can see relative signatures 416 00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:20,160 of what's happening at titan and versus 417 00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:23,600 saturn now saturn is is weaker 418 00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:25,680 than jupiter and 419 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,279 titan is further out to play around with 420 00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:31,440 now the the this problem is quite a 421 00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:34,240 difficult problem because we've got two 422 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:37,440 major scale sizes to worry about 423 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:40,079 so we have saturn sitting at 60 000 424 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:41,440 kilometers 425 00:16:46,629 --> 00:16:43,680 and we have titan sitting at two and a 426 00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:46,639 half thousand kilometers and your first 427 00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:48,560 guess is boy that's a teensy-weensy 428 00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:50,959 little object go to draw it on the scale 429 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:52,639 he'd probably be less than this laser 430 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:55,360 pointer so how can this little guy 431 00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:59,199 have a major effect on this big guy 432 00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:00,959 that's one of the first assumptions that 433 00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:03,519 most people make and this is why we're 434 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:04,400 actually 435 00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:08,079 out whether that assumption is really 436 00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:09,679 valid 437 00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:11,919 so we've got very big disparity in scale 438 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:14,559 sizes to play around with 439 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:16,880 saturn system is complicated because it 440 00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:19,120 has plasmas leaking out from its high 441 00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:20,400 latitudes which would be called the 442 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:22,959 ionospheric plasma moving out 443 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,760 we have water group ions coming out from 444 00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:27,199 enceladus 445 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,600 we've got time making plasma and we've 446 00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:31,440 got the solar wind plasma coming in here 447 00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:33,280 so you've got a whole lot of different 448 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:39,430 the solar wind plasma conditions out 449 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:41,520 there is about 0.05 particles per cubic 450 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:43,039 centimeter 451 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,200 400 kilometers per second 452 00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:48,000 solar wind speed and about half a nano 453 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,400 tesla coming in here from the solar wind 454 00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:52,799 so again very weak field compared to 455 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:58,470 titan here then it has its own set of 456 00:18:02,789 --> 00:18:00,960 plasma sources the ammonia group methane 457 00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:02,799 and ethane coming off it and the 458 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:05,760 incident flow coming in here from titan 459 00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:07,520 has about three astronomical units so 460 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,520 it's a mixture of protons and oxygen uh 461 00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:13,520 ions coming in that speed is actually 462 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:15,280 slower than the solar wind 463 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:18,480 carrying about three or so nanoteslas of 464 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:20,480 magnetic field into titan and its 465 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:22,559 incident flux there's a couple of orders 466 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:23,919 of magnitude 467 00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:24,799 down 468 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:27,679 from what saturn is seeing 469 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:33,270 so how do we couple how do we solve this 470 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:34,559 problem 471 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:37,120 so we're a bunch of modelers 472 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,559 uh we run the fluid equations 473 00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:43,200 which i'm not going to show 474 00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:44,480 uh but we're going to discuss the 475 00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:46,240 gridding system so standard thing is you 476 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,280 would put in a gridding system with ever 477 00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:51,280 increasing grid spacing moving out so 478 00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:53,280 that we cover a very large 479 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:55,360 uh system size so the satin 480 00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,840 magnetosphere extends out a couple of 481 00:19:02,070 --> 00:18:59,200 hundred 482 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:02,080 saturnian radii so it's quite large 483 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,000 uh 484 00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:05,919 in fact bigger than the sun in total 485 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,559 number of kilometers 486 00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,400 in both so we've got a three-dimensional 487 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,320 one this is just a cut 488 00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:14,480 x and y for example 489 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,080 and so we have down to a quarter 490 00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:20,400 planetary radio resolution down around 491 00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:21,440 saturn 492 00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:23,440 moving out 493 00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:25,760 and then what we do for titan is we now 494 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:28,880 put in an additional set of grid points 495 00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:31,520 around titan to keep going down in 496 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:34,240 resolution again several several times 497 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:37,120 down to 100 kilometers so we're actually 498 00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:38,400 able to 499 00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:40,880 view both the small scale and the big 500 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:43,919 scale systems here 501 00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,200 so that's what we're doing and then we 502 00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:47,440 run them 503 00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:48,720 now 504 00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:51,360 with such small scale sizes it's hard to 505 00:19:54,710 --> 00:19:52,720 run a code unless you've got a really 506 00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:54,720 whopping great big code 507 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:57,360 to process everything so what we do is 508 00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:59,360 we use this grid system 509 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,440 to set up an overall equilibrium it 510 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:03,280 takes saturn 511 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,760 several tens of hours to come into 512 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:07,679 equilibrium with solar wind conditions 513 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,000 after that equilibrium is established we 514 00:20:14,870 --> 00:20:12,240 then place in a high resolution grid 515 00:20:19,590 --> 00:20:14,880 around titan and see how that evolves 516 00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:23,590 okay so um here's the uh parameters just 517 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:24,480 uh 518 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:27,280 again so a quarter planetary radius down 519 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:28,799 to all the way down to 100 kilometer 520 00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:31,200 resolution or a fraction of a time 521 00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:32,480 radius 522 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,960 with these species uh 523 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,240 around 524 00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:39,200 titan and these other species here 525 00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:41,679 uh around the inner boundary so we put 526 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:44,720 in a lump of a torus of plasma 527 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:46,240 uh around 528 00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:48,400 uh the latitudes of that insulators are 529 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:51,440 moving around to give its density 530 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:52,240 there 531 00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:57,510 okay 532 00:21:01,430 --> 00:20:59,120 so that's our system 533 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:01,440 so here's the uh 534 00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:04,000 look at what happens with saturn's 535 00:21:07,990 --> 00:21:06,080 system when it's just 536 00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:08,000 um 537 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,360 where the planetary magnetic 538 00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,039 interplanetary magnetic field is 539 00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:13,200 parallel to saturn's magnetic field all 540 00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:14,559 right so here's a complicated looking 541 00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:17,200 figure 542 00:21:21,110 --> 00:21:19,360 so here's satin now we don't go all the 543 00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:21,120 way into satin radiator so this is our 544 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:23,039 inner boundary here which is actually 545 00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,760 two 546 00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:25,919 saturnian radii not one so just for 547 00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:27,679 scale sizes remember this is two setting 548 00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,760 radii not one 549 00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:31,600 we have a cut here 550 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:32,480 in 551 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:43,200 of 552 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,360 uh 25 553 00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:47,039 saturnian radius 554 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:50,000 and this little guy here is titan 555 00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:53,200 so he's just a little little guy here 556 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:54,799 color contours 557 00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:57,200 are of the solar wind density coming 558 00:22:00,310 --> 00:21:59,520 into the system 559 00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:00,320 so 560 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,240 it piles up on the stronger magnetic 561 00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:04,559 field to produce this round feature 562 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:06,720 called the magneto pause and then some 563 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:08,720 of it's allowed to flow into the on the 564 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,080 magnetic field into what's called the 565 00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:12,720 cut so here's a cusp here's another cast 566 00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,559 solar wind is coming in this direction 567 00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:16,559 here uh so our 568 00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:19,440 reference frame is such that the uh 569 00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:21,200 rotational plane 570 00:22:24,470 --> 00:22:22,880 of saturn is 571 00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:24,480 in the parallel to the z direction so 572 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:25,840 the solvents coming at an angle so this 573 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:29,039 cut here is more intense than this cut 574 00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:31,840 and over here is just the density in per 575 00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:32,799 cubic 576 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:34,960 centimeters okay 577 00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:37,200 and these guys here are the magnetic 578 00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:39,760 field lines 579 00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:41,600 that trace into the high latitude 580 00:22:44,149 --> 00:22:43,120 regions 581 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:44,159 for 582 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:45,520 saturn 583 00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:46,720 okay 584 00:22:49,830 --> 00:22:48,559 and we've led this coming to equilibrium 585 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:49,840 so we're looking 586 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:51,120 now 587 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:54,400 38 hours after we've been blowing in 588 00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:56,799 and then we've started off with zero 589 00:23:02,950 --> 00:22:59,440 interplanetary magnetic field and at 590 00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:02,960 about 34 or so the change in 591 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:04,640 interplanetary magnetic field has just 592 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,240 started to arrive and soaking in and 593 00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:08,400 this is when we put uh start the run on 594 00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:10,240 titan so here's little titan 595 00:23:13,990 --> 00:23:12,159 it's got its little plasma source that 596 00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:14,000 you can barely see here 597 00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:17,360 but as we let titan evolve 598 00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:19,280 you'll see 599 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:21,600 it produce a little 600 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,360 tail here 601 00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:24,880 and 602 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:26,240 a bit of luck 603 00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:28,159 you can actually see a little bit of 604 00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:31,120 tail here and actually if you go back 605 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:32,480 you'll see 606 00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:34,240 that the magnetic field is actually 607 00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:37,520 getting a little bit inflated 608 00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:40,000 as the parallel magnetic field arrives 609 00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:42,640 so the solar wind is actually as small 610 00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:45,360 as it is is adding flux or magnetic flux 611 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:48,080 to the entire system and one is able to 612 00:23:51,270 --> 00:23:49,360 start to see 613 00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:51,280 those changes develop 614 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:53,600 so there's little titan 615 00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:55,200 moving around 616 00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:57,679 um and that's in the light ions protons 617 00:24:01,510 --> 00:24:00,080 if we look 618 00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:01,520 oh there we go and then you can see a 619 00:24:04,789 --> 00:24:02,640 nice little 620 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:04,799 tail developing here 621 00:24:09,430 --> 00:24:07,840 right and now if you look at it uh this 622 00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:09,440 tail is now getting to be quite long 623 00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:10,960 this is now several 624 00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:13,279 uh saturnian radii 625 00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:15,600 in lamps 626 00:24:19,510 --> 00:24:17,200 make sure i understand you're starting 627 00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:19,520 off with the solar wind 628 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:20,640 uh just 629 00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:22,400 about to hit it and then you start your 630 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:23,919 simulation you let the solar wind 631 00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:25,440 particles come in is that what's 632 00:24:29,430 --> 00:24:27,840 changing here uh now actually run the 633 00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:29,440 solid so the solar wind has two 634 00:24:33,350 --> 00:24:31,039 components of the particles and the 635 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:33,360 interplanetary magnetic field 636 00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:36,480 uh we let the solar wind blow in with 637 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:38,559 assumed to have zero interplanetary 638 00:24:43,269 --> 00:24:41,039 magnetic field and we let that blow in 639 00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:43,279 for uh about 40 hours to get the 640 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:44,559 equilibrium 641 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:48,320 and actually 30 35 or so hours and then 642 00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:50,480 we turn i'll let the interplanetary 643 00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:52,159 magnetic field come into the system and 644 00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:53,760 see how that changes 645 00:24:57,909 --> 00:24:55,760 there's no input from saturn or 646 00:24:59,750 --> 00:24:57,919 enceladus or anything like that 647 00:25:01,430 --> 00:24:59,760 well we have fixed boundary conditions 648 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:01,440 around here so 649 00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:04,400 uh the as and this is rotating system so 650 00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:07,600 as the magnetosphere uh changes 651 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:09,919 the you can draw plasma around from the 652 00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:11,440 inner boundary so you can actually pull 653 00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:13,840 plasma around so this is the 654 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,840 extension so we start off with a little 655 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:17,919 bit of plasma around here and around the 656 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:19,279 inner boundary 657 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:21,520 uh this is the planet this is a plasma 658 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,240 disc that forms 659 00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:26,240 uh associated with plasma coming out 660 00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,679 from our inner boundaries we end up with 661 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:29,520 a plasma disc as well 662 00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:31,200 that originated in the solar wind no 663 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:33,440 that originates from the 664 00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:35,840 from saturn either from enceladus or 665 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:38,480 from its ionosphere so this plasma is 666 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:39,440 all 667 00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:41,200 uh 668 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:44,320 internal source 669 00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:46,400 and most of this plasma so you haven't 670 00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:47,600 talked about though 671 00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:49,760 how you know how much is coming off of 672 00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:50,799 saturn 673 00:25:55,029 --> 00:25:53,200 or you know how do you specify that 674 00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:55,039 source from saturn 675 00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:57,760 in this code um 676 00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:00,640 we we can do that uh in a minute because 677 00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:02,320 we have the beauty about our code is we 678 00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:04,240 have three iron species 679 00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:06,000 we have protons 680 00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:10,240 uh uh cno group and heavy iron group so 681 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:12,080 in the way the code is 682 00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:14,400 uh protons are allowed to come 683 00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:17,919 from the solar wind or from saturn so 684 00:26:22,710 --> 00:26:20,320 here you see both of these guys and 685 00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:22,720 these guys in a little while i'm going 686 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,080 to show you the density plots 687 00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:28,640 of the water group and the heavies and 688 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:30,400 they can only come 689 00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,840 from either 690 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:33,200 saturn 691 00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:35,360 or titan they can't come from the solar 692 00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:37,679 wind so there we know that that's the 693 00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:39,840 source of that plasma i'm still missing 694 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:41,120 how you 695 00:26:47,909 --> 00:26:44,720 you get us 696 00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:47,919 the flux off of saturn is it is it the 697 00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:49,840 electric field it just pulls it off yeah 698 00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:52,559 the electric field pulls it off okay so 699 00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:54,320 you just say that it's there 700 00:26:59,350 --> 00:26:56,799 yep once i get a certain yes so what 701 00:27:01,590 --> 00:26:59,360 happens is you you have these fuel lines 702 00:27:03,190 --> 00:27:01,600 and uh we'll show a little 703 00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:03,200 bit of movies later on but these fuel 704 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,559 lines aren't static they're moving 705 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:06,640 around so any plasma down here that's 706 00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:07,600 loaded 707 00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:09,840 as these field lines rotate and spin or 708 00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,559 change or convect they'll pick up energy 709 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:14,720 so any plasma starts here will be flung 710 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:17,440 down to the other field lines and into 711 00:27:22,310 --> 00:27:19,520 the into the disk 712 00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:22,320 they're good questions thank you 713 00:27:25,669 --> 00:27:23,520 all right 714 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:25,679 so after just four hours here you can 715 00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:26,880 start to see 716 00:27:31,269 --> 00:27:29,120 uh start of a 717 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:31,279 disc and in fact 718 00:27:35,909 --> 00:27:34,559 uh going back to to to woody's question 719 00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:35,919 here 720 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:37,120 um 721 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:39,279 this is just showing you the the heavy 722 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:41,039 ions here 723 00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:41,840 uh 724 00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:43,919 present here so this is the top view now 725 00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:48,720 and again 25 to 25 rre 726 00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:50,000 rs 727 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:52,000 this one is density 728 00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:53,440 and this is temperature we've got a 729 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:55,760 whole lot of hot plasma moving around 730 00:27:59,750 --> 00:27:58,720 you can see that the cold stuff is here 731 00:28:02,710 --> 00:27:59,760 you can actually see a little bit of 732 00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,720 spoke like features here but basically 733 00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:04,559 uh you get the hot stuff 734 00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:07,840 just at about titan's orbit coming in 735 00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:08,640 here 736 00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:13,840 all the hot stuff 737 00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:15,200 is i don't have a scale here but this is 738 00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:16,799 more than a kilovolt 739 00:28:20,789 --> 00:28:18,559 in temperature here and then this is 740 00:28:22,789 --> 00:28:20,799 stuff leaking out 741 00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:22,799 across the magnetopores 742 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:24,480 and again 743 00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:25,600 you'll be able to see a little bit 744 00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:26,559 better 745 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:28,320 uh the formation 746 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:31,520 of the little tail that parallel will 747 00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:34,320 tighten this on this white circle here 748 00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:36,240 is if the material 749 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:39,039 were staying in the same orbit as titan 750 00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:40,080 okay 751 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:42,320 so we can ask the question whether it's 752 00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:44,720 orbiting or falling in 753 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:45,600 and 754 00:28:49,909 --> 00:28:47,520 you can see it step out 755 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:49,919 and you can actually see here that 756 00:28:53,909 --> 00:28:52,240 in fact it's actually falling in 757 00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,919 uh 758 00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:55,919 in in towards saturn 759 00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:58,480 this tail coming out and you can see the 760 00:29:02,310 --> 00:29:00,480 hot plasma uh 761 00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:02,320 is now lying at this boundary between 762 00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:05,120 this cold plasma from titan so titanium 763 00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:06,480 is getting a little bit grumpy because 764 00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:07,919 it's being black while this plasma and 765 00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:11,279 it's setting up its reaction back onto 766 00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:16,470 all right 767 00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:18,720 uh the one thing is that this may need a 768 00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:22,080 little tail here is very very 769 00:29:26,310 --> 00:29:24,240 stable here we see it we've lasted four 770 00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:26,320 hours or so and it looks like you know 771 00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:28,240 we don't see any rapid disastrous 772 00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:29,679 changes 773 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:31,840 actually here we go 774 00:29:34,789 --> 00:29:33,360 okay so that's that's the end of that 775 00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:34,799 run 776 00:29:38,870 --> 00:29:37,279 oh if you wanted to see it in just 777 00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:38,880 uh 778 00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:40,720 an art form 779 00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:42,399 here here's the tail we're playing just 780 00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:45,039 an iso surface of density here these 781 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:47,760 lines here are flow lines of plasma 782 00:29:52,149 --> 00:29:49,840 streaking around the planet 783 00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:52,159 uh the moon i'm sorry and the red ones 784 00:29:57,029 --> 00:29:52,960 are 785 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,039 moon 786 00:30:01,029 --> 00:29:59,679 and you can see the tail 787 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:01,039 uh fall 788 00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:04,480 and move out and again here so where 789 00:30:11,669 --> 00:30:09,520 this tail here it is close to ten 790 00:30:15,029 --> 00:30:11,679 saturnian radii long so it's quite a 791 00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:15,039 long tail that is being produced by this 792 00:30:22,549 --> 00:30:21,350 not only is it falling in but it's 793 00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:22,559 actually sinking 794 00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:24,640 a little bit out of the equatorial plane 795 00:30:28,470 --> 00:30:27,200 but the whole point here is it's stable 796 00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:28,480 uh in 797 00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:31,279 position it's with it's quite large when 798 00:30:34,830 --> 00:30:33,200 it's full width if we measure it it's 799 00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:34,840 about a satin 800 00:30:39,990 --> 00:30:38,000 uh radius wide so even though we start 801 00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:40,000 with a very small system it gets kind of 802 00:30:44,870 --> 00:30:42,960 big as it moves in 803 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:44,880 now saturn is kind of you know it's kind 804 00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:47,279 of a quiet day for saturn while the imf 805 00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:50,559 is is uh parallel to the saturnian 806 00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:52,960 magnetic field titan then 807 00:30:57,510 --> 00:30:55,200 has a little bit of a rough time when we 808 00:30:58,549 --> 00:30:57,520 go and turn the interplanetary magnetic 809 00:31:01,029 --> 00:30:58,559 field 810 00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:01,039 uh anti-parallel to saturn's magnetic 811 00:31:05,350 --> 00:31:03,120 field 812 00:31:07,750 --> 00:31:05,360 and here's a side view and i've 813 00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:07,760 exaggerated uh time a little bit so you 814 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:09,679 can see what's happening a little bit so 815 00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:12,000 again this is just uh 816 00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:14,000 and this is a projection of its position 817 00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:15,760 uh we've got it at 45 degrees that's a 818 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:17,440 little bit more closer than the 20 819 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:19,840 because it's a projection effect okay so 820 00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:21,520 here's the magneto pause 821 00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:23,039 uh 822 00:31:26,549 --> 00:31:24,000 cast 823 00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:26,559 this this feature up here is called the 824 00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,640 magnetotail satin 825 00:31:31,909 --> 00:31:30,320 it's at an angle because again the solar 826 00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:31,919 wind is blowing a little bit so you can 827 00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:34,480 actually see sort of a bowl-shaped disk 828 00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:37,440 our earth has got has a flat 829 00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:39,440 uh plasma sheet because it's coming 830 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:41,360 straight at us 831 00:31:45,029 --> 00:31:43,200 on average 832 00:31:47,269 --> 00:31:45,039 and what happens with 833 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:47,279 the interplanetary magnetic field as 834 00:31:50,630 --> 00:31:48,960 weak as it is it is adding or 835 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:50,640 subtracting flux 836 00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:52,640 from the saturnian system so what you're 837 00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:54,799 going to see i hope 838 00:31:57,509 --> 00:31:55,600 is 839 00:31:58,549 --> 00:31:57,519 that as we 840 00:32:01,029 --> 00:31:58,559 start 841 00:32:02,389 --> 00:32:01,039 putting in that antiparallelometic field 842 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:02,399 that causes 843 00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:06,320 the plasma to convect into the middle of 844 00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:07,039 the 845 00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:08,399 sheet here 846 00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:10,000 but it's because it's a rotating system 847 00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:11,919 as soon as you put more mass into the 848 00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:14,159 system it becomes more influenced by 849 00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:17,039 rotation and so it spins itself out and 850 00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:18,799 so what you're going to see here 851 00:32:24,230 --> 00:32:22,320 is that this feature here 852 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:24,240 will actually move down so the beginning 853 00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:26,240 of this system plural titan is sort of 854 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:28,720 sitting on the outside of life 855 00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,360 but then during this kind of interaction 856 00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:33,039 it gets totally immersed in a more 857 00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:35,760 hostile environment so hopefully 858 00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:37,200 we click 859 00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:39,679 and click click click 860 00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:40,559 click 861 00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:47,039 being now completely immersed so if i go 862 00:32:52,389 --> 00:32:50,240 backwards in time so right here it's 863 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:52,399 sitting dead square middle of the plasma 864 00:32:54,950 --> 00:32:53,679 sheet 865 00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,960 if we go back 866 00:32:58,789 --> 00:32:56,399 to the beginning 867 00:33:02,710 --> 00:32:58,799 of thai it's actually sitting on the 868 00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:02,720 periphery so during this time 869 00:33:05,830 --> 00:33:04,559 the plasma conditions and in space 870 00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:05,840 environment 871 00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:07,679 around for our little 872 00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:09,120 time 873 00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:10,960 is changing dramatically so it's going 874 00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:13,120 to have a rough time so and also if you 875 00:33:17,669 --> 00:33:15,120 look back if you've got good eyes you'll 876 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,679 see once we turn the ims southward 877 00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:19,600 or anti-parallel i should say 878 00:33:23,909 --> 00:33:22,080 it spins out a little bit 879 00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:23,919 one set spins out it fluffs off some of 880 00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:26,240 the plasma and it shrinks back in a 881 00:33:30,070 --> 00:33:27,679 little bit so there's a there's 882 00:33:31,590 --> 00:33:30,080 certainly the whole system is changing 883 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:31,600 and you can actually see some material 884 00:33:34,230 --> 00:33:33,120 boiling off 885 00:33:35,509 --> 00:33:34,240 here at 886 00:33:36,830 --> 00:33:35,519 nearly auroral 887 00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:36,840 altitude 888 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:38,640 latitudes 889 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:43,029 so 890 00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:50,559 again 891 00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:52,799 this is the cno 892 00:33:56,549 --> 00:33:54,720 group and there's a little titan that 893 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:56,559 doesn't look like much 894 00:33:59,990 --> 00:33:58,159 on this scale 895 00:34:01,669 --> 00:34:00,000 now what happens with anything that 896 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,679 you're spinning so saturn is spinning 897 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:03,120 around here 898 00:34:08,069 --> 00:34:05,519 as we put more plasma 899 00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:08,079 into the disk 900 00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:09,359 uh 901 00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:11,359 it becomes unstable 902 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:13,520 and orion is the one who noted this and 903 00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:14,960 she's writing it up 904 00:34:21,589 --> 00:34:17,280 is that you get these fingers 905 00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:21,599 i'm calling the fingers of death okay 906 00:34:25,270 --> 00:34:24,399 and pour a little tight there right here 907 00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:25,280 and 908 00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:27,440 in fact it's going to get clobbered by 909 00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:29,440 one of these things so if you 910 00:34:32,950 --> 00:34:31,359 watch it rotate around there it goes 911 00:34:36,629 --> 00:34:32,960 gets splattered 912 00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:36,639 by one of those borrowing arches there 913 00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,320 and we just turned it off just as the 914 00:34:42,869 --> 00:34:40,879 second one was going to splat into it so 915 00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:42,879 so you can see it running 916 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:44,560 simply going with saturn's rotation 917 00:34:48,069 --> 00:34:46,320 going with retina's rotation it's 918 00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:48,079 actually slightly dragging so it's not 919 00:34:53,589 --> 00:34:51,119 completely co-rotational but um 920 00:34:55,270 --> 00:34:53,599 it is going around pretty well with it 921 00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:55,280 and so you can see those things and 922 00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,920 intensify and get flung 923 00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:00,000 out and you can 924 00:35:04,390 --> 00:35:02,240 see some stuff some stuff going in and 925 00:35:06,310 --> 00:35:04,400 out over here as well as you go 926 00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:06,320 back and forth over this 927 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:07,200 thing 928 00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:08,000 so 929 00:35:14,069 --> 00:35:10,880 uh time gets splattered here and its 930 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:14,079 environment becomes different 931 00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:16,240 okay 932 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,480 now titan if you look just down here 933 00:35:23,430 --> 00:35:20,880 titan is kind of pesky it's so you see 934 00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:23,440 this arm coming around 935 00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:26,880 and you actually see it modify 936 00:35:30,069 --> 00:35:27,760 uh 937 00:35:32,069 --> 00:35:30,079 right for example right here you can 938 00:35:33,349 --> 00:35:32,079 actually see it's kind of hole 939 00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:33,359 through that 940 00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:34,800 finger 941 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:37,760 going to come in it's going to whack it 942 00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:38,880 you can actually see in a couple 943 00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:40,320 occasions here 944 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:42,240 that there's an indentation 945 00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:44,880 in that one so titan is putting up it's 946 00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:46,320 putting up a fair fight to say it 947 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:48,880 doesn't want all that plasma um piling 948 00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:52,240 up on it and if we go closer 949 00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:53,760 we can show it a little bit so there's a 950 00:35:58,790 --> 00:35:56,640 little titan here on a zoom up 951 00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:58,800 which we'll see 952 00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:00,480 and here it comes 953 00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:02,240 so it's got its tail 954 00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:04,000 here comes a big finger 955 00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:06,240 coming towards it 956 00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:08,480 and what we see here 957 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:10,880 is that if you might be able to hint 958 00:36:14,310 --> 00:36:12,320 that there's actually a pile up of 959 00:36:18,230 --> 00:36:14,320 plasma here slightly different color 960 00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:18,240 contour as it piles up 961 00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:19,520 and whoops 962 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:21,280 and as you see it comes around here 963 00:36:25,109 --> 00:36:22,800 you'll see that that tail gets 964 00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:25,119 completely pushed aside and some of this 965 00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:27,280 plasma actually hooks around 966 00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:29,760 so that titan is now actually completely 967 00:36:34,390 --> 00:36:31,440 distorting 968 00:36:37,349 --> 00:36:34,400 uh the flow of saturn's plasma 969 00:36:39,349 --> 00:36:37,359 around the system here 970 00:36:41,510 --> 00:36:39,359 and then it goes away 971 00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:41,520 like a flag post you can see it 972 00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:44,079 moving away and it tries to recover to 973 00:36:47,589 --> 00:36:45,760 its original position 974 00:36:50,069 --> 00:36:47,599 uh during the density minimum but then 975 00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:50,079 another cloud comes through 976 00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:52,000 so this is sort of a summary is it had a 977 00:36:56,870 --> 00:36:54,320 nice pretty tail 978 00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:56,880 then one of the fingers come around 979 00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:58,480 crush it 980 00:37:01,270 --> 00:36:59,839 the uh 981 00:37:03,349 --> 00:37:01,280 finger is distorted you can see a 982 00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:03,359 minimum in the the density as it plows 983 00:37:07,750 --> 00:37:05,760 in the titan and the tail is also 984 00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:07,760 completely distorted and you can see now 985 00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:09,200 instead of even being closely to 986 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:12,480 co-rotational it's completely pulled in 987 00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:14,880 so in this particular case 988 00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:16,320 titan's 989 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:18,720 plasma environment is not stable that 990 00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:20,560 it's its tail can actually be totally 991 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:25,510 all right 992 00:37:29,430 --> 00:37:27,520 now this takes quite a bit of art form 993 00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:29,440 to get used to this plot 994 00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:33,349 and we did a little 995 00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:35,680 bit crazy with the purples here 996 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:36,400 okay 997 00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:39,359 so this is a top view of titan so we're 998 00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:41,200 just going to focus down so now we've 999 00:37:44,390 --> 00:37:42,720 dropped our resolution 1000 00:37:46,870 --> 00:37:44,400 to a couple 1001 00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:46,880 of saturnian radii 1002 00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:49,760 so this is a top view 1003 00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:52,160 of the system that we sort of saw before 1004 00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:54,720 and this is a vertical view 1005 00:37:58,790 --> 00:37:57,200 so this is looking the z direction but 1006 00:38:00,150 --> 00:37:58,800 because stuff 1007 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:00,160 is flowing 1008 00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:02,880 in on average this direction 1009 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:04,800 we've got three planes cutting it here 1010 00:38:08,790 --> 00:38:06,240 here and here so these are these three 1011 00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:08,800 planes okay and again we're only looking 1012 00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:09,920 at a few 1013 00:38:15,030 --> 00:38:13,920 uh solar saturnian radii 1014 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:15,040 and the question that we're trying to 1015 00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:16,480 answer by looking at this card is not 1016 00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:17,760 only how long is this tail which we've 1017 00:38:23,030 --> 00:38:20,640 already seen but what is the up down 1018 00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:23,040 extent how big is that 1019 00:38:26,950 --> 00:38:24,960 and so here we go 1020 00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:26,960 uh into it so and this middle panel of 1021 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:28,480 course you'll be kind of picking out 1022 00:38:35,030 --> 00:38:30,480 there as you did this is quite an 1023 00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:35,040 excellent piece of work here it goes 1024 00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:37,359 so you can see the tail punching out to 1025 00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:40,240 here this is the extension of that tail 1026 00:38:44,710 --> 00:38:42,480 in there 1027 00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:44,720 and 1028 00:38:49,349 --> 00:38:46,640 we've got it just uh here comes one of 1029 00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:49,359 the fingers in high resolution 1030 00:38:53,270 --> 00:38:52,400 um so fairly uniform here just hasn't 1031 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:53,280 that it 1032 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:54,880 quite got to tighten 1033 00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:56,640 and you can actually see this stripe and 1034 00:38:59,750 --> 00:38:57,920 the density 1035 00:39:00,870 --> 00:38:59,760 here extending 1036 00:39:02,630 --> 00:39:00,880 several 1037 00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:02,640 uh solar radii 1038 00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:04,800 up this is the magnetic field being hung 1039 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:08,480 up on titan not being able to 1040 00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:09,520 twist 1041 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:11,280 and so you can see it as a very 1042 00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:18,710 puts up at impacts 1043 00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:24,790 and i'll go through it quickly again 1044 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:26,800 here's the thing of whopping into it you 1045 00:39:35,430 --> 00:39:33,190 bite out in the density 1046 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:35,440 going through 1047 00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:37,280 and then you can see 1048 00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:39,119 recovering its tail and coming back let 1049 00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:41,200 me go back 1050 00:39:45,190 --> 00:39:43,280 so you can see this thing is there it's 1051 00:39:47,589 --> 00:39:45,200 certainly moving around 1052 00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:47,599 but certainly a a present feature for a 1053 00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:49,040 very very long time 1054 00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:50,640 the reason that's happening is the 1055 00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:53,680 magnetic field is piling up on this guy 1056 00:39:57,510 --> 00:39:55,119 and that means you have a chance of 1057 00:39:59,589 --> 00:39:57,520 accelerating particles 1058 00:40:02,310 --> 00:39:59,599 making aurora 1059 00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:02,320 modifying the entire 1060 00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:04,720 jovian system in fact and you can also 1061 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:05,680 see it 1062 00:40:10,310 --> 00:40:08,000 in temperature so this is the ion 1063 00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:10,320 temperature again kilovolts is up here 1064 00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:11,920 so we've got a whole lot of hot plasma 1065 00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:13,520 titan is nice and cold 1066 00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:14,480 stuff 1067 00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:16,640 is coming through 1068 00:40:19,190 --> 00:40:17,760 and 1069 00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:19,200 you can again 1070 00:40:25,109 --> 00:40:21,680 see time making striations 1071 00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:25,119 here in the temperature profile 1072 00:40:29,829 --> 00:40:28,240 and it's still quite persistent in here 1073 00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:29,839 but it's remembering the old plasma 1074 00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:32,480 here's the cold bit plasma spreads up 1075 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:38,630 and there we go 1076 00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,599 so 1077 00:40:42,870 --> 00:40:41,040 for us 1078 00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:42,880 uh who's doing space physics this is 1079 00:40:48,310 --> 00:40:45,119 kind of an important effect because 1080 00:40:49,109 --> 00:40:48,320 at this kind of scale size 1081 00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:49,119 this 1082 00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:51,359 scale size is almost closely 1083 00:40:56,710 --> 00:40:53,760 equivalent to the entire 1084 00:40:58,870 --> 00:40:56,720 width of the plasma sheet of saturn so 1085 00:41:01,349 --> 00:40:58,880 stuff is trying to come in 1086 00:41:04,069 --> 00:41:01,359 trying to make aurora it appears that 1087 00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:04,079 titan may in fact be setting up the 1088 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:06,000 point when it's in the tail about where 1089 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:07,040 the inner 1090 00:41:11,829 --> 00:41:09,440 plasma sheet should be which would then 1091 00:41:14,630 --> 00:41:11,839 affect where the aurora might be 1092 00:41:16,309 --> 00:41:14,640 occurring and so this is a fairly strong 1093 00:41:18,870 --> 00:41:16,319 prediction that's being made here about 1094 00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:18,880 its influence when it's in the tail 1095 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:22,000 because it's certainly modifying it 1096 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:23,200 and you can see the nice vertical 1097 00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:25,040 stripes here 1098 00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:27,520 so it's it's it's having a big effect 1099 00:41:31,349 --> 00:41:29,599 so summary let me just say that we've 1100 00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:31,359 played around here with saturn's plasma 1101 00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:32,640 environment 1102 00:41:36,309 --> 00:41:34,560 we see that the solar wind and 1103 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,319 interplanetary magnetic field have 1104 00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:37,839 influences 1105 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:40,400 on the system from the planetary 1106 00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:42,319 magnetic field it couples to the 1107 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,560 planetary magnetic field 1108 00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:46,560 and with its fast rotation sets up by 1109 00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:49,760 magnetosphere which is then 1110 00:41:54,309 --> 00:41:51,760 very quite variable and this means that 1111 00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:54,319 we have a variable plasma environment at 1112 00:41:58,069 --> 00:41:56,400 titan 1113 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,079 this leads to 1114 00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:00,000 induced 1115 00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:02,640 magnetosphere around titan 1116 00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:04,720 but it's 1117 00:42:11,109 --> 00:42:06,560 it certainly leads to enhanced stripping 1118 00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:13,430 it leads to specific ions that we can 1119 00:42:18,309 --> 00:42:16,480 actually track out from titan so that 1120 00:42:20,390 --> 00:42:18,319 you can see 1121 00:42:21,750 --> 00:42:20,400 for example in in our case difference 1122 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:21,760 between the nitrogen that would be 1123 00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:23,920 coming out from titan versus 1124 00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:26,400 the o plus coming out from enceladus and 1125 00:42:31,750 --> 00:42:29,119 so these definitely mixing of plasmas 1126 00:42:33,190 --> 00:42:31,760 we see that we have an extended tail out 1127 00:42:34,710 --> 00:42:33,200 to at least 1128 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:34,720 tens of 1129 00:42:38,069 --> 00:42:37,040 saturnian radii but it's certainly 1130 00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:38,079 subject 1131 00:42:43,109 --> 00:42:40,319 to disruption due to changes in the 1132 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:43,119 solar wind conditions 1133 00:42:47,990 --> 00:42:46,240 uh conversely saturn is able to then 1134 00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:48,000 since it's such a large tail is actually 1135 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,640 modifying saturn's planet uh plasma 1136 00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:52,720 system and so there may in fact be 1137 00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:54,400 really strong two-way coupling which 1138 00:43:03,829 --> 00:42:56,560 we're still continuing to research i'll 1139 00:43:03,839 --> 00:43:08,710 preston 1140 00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:10,550 i've got what 1141 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:12,800 oh you bring up a very interesting thing 1142 00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:14,960 here at the very end of course uh the 1143 00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:17,200 stripping of the atmosphere and so forth 1144 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:19,040 you haven't put in any of that coupling 1145 00:43:22,950 --> 00:43:20,400 yet 1146 00:43:24,870 --> 00:43:22,960 is that part of what you plan to do um 1147 00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:24,880 if there's a couple systems now i didn't 1148 00:43:28,150 --> 00:43:27,040 we're still running the numbers because 1149 00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:28,160 uh 1150 00:43:31,270 --> 00:43:30,079 it's highly variable and so we didn't 1151 00:43:34,390 --> 00:43:31,280 realize it was going to be as variable 1152 00:43:38,309 --> 00:43:34,400 but we see nearly an order of magnitude 1153 00:43:40,150 --> 00:43:38,319 change in the outflow of the titan irons 1154 00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:40,160 during some of these events so it's 1155 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:41,680 oscillating very 1156 00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:42,480 uh 1157 00:43:46,950 --> 00:43:44,960 significantly and we need to plot out 1158 00:43:49,589 --> 00:43:46,960 exactly what that change in flux rate is 1159 00:43:51,750 --> 00:43:49,599 but its orders of magnitude changes 1160 00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:51,760 that'd be extremely interesting to see 1161 00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:53,599 what the time averaged is as well as the 1162 00:43:57,829 --> 00:43:55,520 variability and yeah we haven't gone 1163 00:43:59,270 --> 00:43:57,839 that far yet and obviously the 1164 00:44:00,630 --> 00:43:59,280 atmosphere is there it hasn't been 1165 00:44:01,910 --> 00:44:00,640 stripped so that implies you've got to 1166 00:44:04,470 --> 00:44:01,920 have the input 1167 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,480 yeah i still think uh this is not a real 1168 00:44:09,109 --> 00:44:05,920 fast strip 1169 00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:09,119 stripping mechanism for titan uh i think 1170 00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:10,560 we're losing 1171 00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:13,280 it's it's like a standard type of system 1172 00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:16,000 i think that's uh 1173 00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:18,880 yeah 10 of 25 i think that works out to 1174 00:44:23,270 --> 00:44:20,640 be let's see 1175 00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:23,280 i o is a ton of second i think this is 1176 00:44:27,349 --> 00:44:25,359 only a hundredth of a ton per second or 1177 00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:27,359 something 1178 00:44:29,829 --> 00:44:28,240 can you 1179 00:44:33,750 --> 00:44:29,839 relate that to atmospheres for billion 1180 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,550 i think the answer is uh 1181 00:44:40,870 --> 00:44:38,400 i think the standard answer for most of 1182 00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:40,880 the moon system is of order of a few 1183 00:44:45,589 --> 00:44:43,200 meters per billion years 1184 00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:45,599 that's what we typically strip out 1185 00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:47,119 of ice 1186 00:44:49,829 --> 00:44:48,960 if i had it if i condensed it into ice i 1187 00:44:51,910 --> 00:44:49,839 guess 1188 00:44:53,589 --> 00:44:51,920 solid yeah 1189 00:44:55,109 --> 00:44:53,599 and you guys would have to convert 1190 00:44:59,030 --> 00:44:55,119 solids to gas 1191 00:45:05,589 --> 00:45:01,430 good this is a little bit tangential but 1192 00:45:07,910 --> 00:45:05,599 going back to enceladus yes 1193 00:45:10,230 --> 00:45:07,920 water ions being injected but you also 1194 00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:10,240 mentioned ice particles being ejected 1195 00:45:14,230 --> 00:45:13,040 right what is the nature or fate of 1196 00:45:18,309 --> 00:45:14,240 those 1197 00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:18,319 that particularly does anybody have 1198 00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:20,160 okay carol can do it she's working on 1199 00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:23,200 that um actually the particular icing 1200 00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:25,040 dust is what they believe makes up the 1201 00:45:29,030 --> 00:45:26,480 whole e-brain 1202 00:45:30,870 --> 00:45:29,040 and the e-ring is superposed on the 1203 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:30,880 solid since orbital location it's 1204 00:45:35,510 --> 00:45:33,280 looking more and more like 1205 00:45:37,829 --> 00:45:35,520 the coincidence is pretty impossible 1206 00:45:42,150 --> 00:45:37,839 like their enceladus is feeding 1207 00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:43,670 which is the most diffuse of the rings 1208 00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:54,550 what is the results of your computer 1209 00:45:58,550 --> 00:45:56,720 modeling compared to what cassini has 1210 00:46:00,710 --> 00:45:58,560 actually measured we're actually doing 1211 00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:00,720 pretty good i think we're the 1212 00:46:04,630 --> 00:46:03,359 the first to actually 1213 00:46:06,870 --> 00:46:04,640 write supposed to be writing this up 1214 00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:06,880 first to identify the source mechanism 1215 00:46:12,230 --> 00:46:08,400 for the fingers 1216 00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:12,240 uh they were observed by cassini and 1217 00:46:16,550 --> 00:46:15,040 were able to start producing that darcy 1218 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:16,560 has worked up 1219 00:46:23,190 --> 00:46:21,119 uh titans uh close in to titan 1220 00:46:24,710 --> 00:46:23,200 and able to reproduce the magnetic field 1221 00:46:28,150 --> 00:46:24,720 signatures there 1222 00:46:29,910 --> 00:46:28,160 and then this modeling here is then 1223 00:46:34,309 --> 00:46:29,920 providing a link between those two sets 1224 00:46:36,309 --> 00:46:34,319 of observations which you can't really 1225 00:46:38,390 --> 00:46:36,319 do from the very few cassini 1226 00:46:40,829 --> 00:46:38,400 observations so this is providing an 1227 00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:40,839 important link 1228 00:46:44,790 --> 00:46:42,640 the 1229 00:46:47,109 --> 00:46:44,800 just recently a paper was published by 1230 00:46:49,750 --> 00:46:47,119 people at iowa 1231 00:46:50,950 --> 00:46:49,760 indicating that titan is in fact 1232 00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:50,960 um 1233 00:46:55,750 --> 00:46:52,960 modifying the radio emissions from 1234 00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:55,760 saturn they have 1235 00:46:59,270 --> 00:46:57,839 earth and jupiter and saturn are 1236 00:47:01,829 --> 00:46:59,280 actually bright 1237 00:47:03,270 --> 00:47:01,839 broadcasters in the radio 1238 00:47:04,710 --> 00:47:03,280 and in fact can be brighter than the sun 1239 00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:04,720 in the radio 1240 00:47:07,510 --> 00:47:06,000 uh 1241 00:47:10,150 --> 00:47:07,520 at jupiter it's well known that's a lot 1242 00:47:11,349 --> 00:47:10,160 of those radio emissions are modified by 1243 00:47:14,309 --> 00:47:11,359 the moons 1244 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:14,319 the first result that titan 1245 00:47:19,910 --> 00:47:17,920 is modifying the emissions at saturn has 1246 00:47:22,069 --> 00:47:19,920 only just been published and 1247 00:47:23,910 --> 00:47:22,079 this work here is providing a means to 1248 00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:23,920 explain that coupling which hasn't been 1249 00:47:27,670 --> 00:47:26,160 developed either 1250 00:47:29,270 --> 00:47:27,680 previously 1251 00:47:31,510 --> 00:47:29,280 i could just inject brighter than the 1252 00:47:33,349 --> 00:47:31,520 sun at those low frequencies that does 1253 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:33,359 low frequencies 1254 00:47:36,150 --> 00:47:34,880 i didn't say that i said at those 1255 00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:36,160 frequencies 1256 00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:39,200 at the radio yeah 1257 00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:41,520 we get to cheat 1258 00:47:50,950 --> 00:47:48,710 i've got one if carl sagan is right or 1259 00:47:53,230 --> 00:47:50,960 was right and there's life on titan how 1260 00:47:56,069 --> 00:47:53,240 is it being affected by the 1261 00:47:59,589 --> 00:47:56,079 magnetosphere and the plasma environment 1262 00:48:01,430 --> 00:47:59,599 around the planet as you've modeled it 1263 00:48:03,910 --> 00:48:01,440 right now 1264 00:48:05,829 --> 00:48:03,920 most of the stuff is low energy sentence 1265 00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:05,839 magnetic field 1266 00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:08,160 is too weak to really get a good 1267 00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:09,760 radiation built 1268 00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:12,960 up at titan so uh 1269 00:48:16,150 --> 00:48:14,160 right now 1270 00:48:17,589 --> 00:48:16,160 those little bugs be nice and happy 1271 00:48:19,829 --> 00:48:17,599 now we have no effect we're just blowing 1272 00:48:21,030 --> 00:48:19,839 off some of the material at the top the 1273 00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:21,040 question is 1274 00:48:24,630 --> 00:48:22,960 what happens when you're 1275 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:24,640 an extra solar planet if you're going 1276 00:48:28,069 --> 00:48:26,400 hunting for those guys now you're in a 1277 00:48:31,030 --> 00:48:28,079 most hostile 1278 00:48:32,710 --> 00:48:31,040 plasma environment presumably the 1279 00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:32,720 may or may not have stronger magnetic 1280 00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:34,720 field you may have a lot more energetic 1281 00:48:37,589 --> 00:48:36,160 particles and then the little bugs out 1282 00:48:40,390 --> 00:48:37,599 there might have some 1283 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:40,400 more interesting life 1284 00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:43,680 we do have a question from the outside 1285 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:49,589 oh yeah i just wonder uh 1286 00:48:55,910 --> 00:48:53,280 what if you put an intrinsic magnetic 1287 00:48:58,549 --> 00:48:55,920 magnetic field on titan and how that 1288 00:49:02,470 --> 00:48:58,559 will affect the mass loss rate will that 1289 00:49:04,710 --> 00:49:02,480 reduce it significantly this is a habit 1290 00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:04,720 oh that's a real good question um 1291 00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:06,880 we've not done that for titan but we've 1292 00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:08,720 done a little bit of exploratory work 1293 00:49:13,829 --> 00:49:10,160 for ganymede which does have an 1294 00:49:18,710 --> 00:49:16,790 there the loss rates are about the same 1295 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:18,720 but what happens is the energy is 1296 00:49:23,109 --> 00:49:20,640 concentrated into the poles and if you 1297 00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:23,119 look at ganymede for example 1298 00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:27,440 the ice looks uh cleaner 1299 00:49:31,109 --> 00:49:29,200 and the poles and it's dirty in the 1300 00:49:33,349 --> 00:49:31,119 middle which is protected so you get 1301 00:49:34,950 --> 00:49:33,359 faster stripping at the pulse so you 1302 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:34,960 concentrate your energy into those 1303 00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:36,880 systems 1304 00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:38,640 in a system which also has an intrinsic 1305 00:49:43,030 --> 00:49:41,040 magnetic field you get conversion of 1306 00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:43,040 some of the magnetic energy into 1307 00:49:47,270 --> 00:49:45,040 particle acceleration by a process 1308 00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:47,280 called magnetic reconnection 1309 00:49:51,670 --> 00:49:49,359 so you may have a more 1310 00:49:53,670 --> 00:49:51,680 energetic particle environment than we 1311 00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:53,680 have for this induced 1312 00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:03,430 thank you 1313 00:50:06,630 --> 00:50:04,950 i've got a follow-up question if you 1314 00:50:08,549 --> 00:50:06,640 were to project 1315 00:50:10,470 --> 00:50:08,559 either a few billion years into the 1316 00:50:15,109 --> 00:50:10,480 future or a few billion years into the 1317 00:50:20,710 --> 00:50:17,670 can you speculate about the possible 1318 00:50:22,309 --> 00:50:20,720 history of life on titan as a result of 1319 00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:22,319 its magnetospheric and plasma 1320 00:50:25,349 --> 00:50:23,520 environment 1321 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:25,359 um 1322 00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:26,640 sorry 1323 00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:32,309 why aren't you asking me about life on i 1324 00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:34,480 know the galilean means rather than time 1325 00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:37,200 time is kind of a cold isn't it so yeah 1326 00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:39,359 but let's say there's a weird life out 1327 00:50:43,349 --> 00:50:42,160 there that can cope with it i mean 1328 00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:43,359 let's say there's 1329 00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:45,119 there's 1330 00:50:49,829 --> 00:50:46,319 you know a 1331 00:50:50,950 --> 00:50:49,839 domain barossa out there 1332 00:50:52,309 --> 00:50:50,960 that 1333 00:51:00,230 --> 00:50:52,319 has 1334 00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:00,240 solvent and lives by converting 1335 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:10,069 okay i'm not going to answer that one 1336 00:51:13,829 --> 00:51:11,990 well thank you very much robert i should 1337 00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:13,839 before we leave i should mention that 1338 00:51:18,790 --> 00:51:16,480 robert is also director newly installed 1339 00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:18,800 director of the space grant here so if 1340 00:51:22,549 --> 00:51:20,880 anyone wants either some space or a 1341 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:22,559 grant 1342 00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:25,119 everybody at universities want to 1343 00:51:29,510 --> 00:51:27,440 see robert about and i would put in that 1344 00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:29,520 we have instigated some graduate student 1345 00:51:34,630 --> 00:51:32,640 support uh so if you're out of graduate 1346 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:34,640 student support even even though ashford 1347 00:51:39,670 --> 00:51:37,920 has more funds than we do not anymore 1348 00:51:41,109 --> 00:51:39,680 there is we have instigated some 1349 00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:41,119 graduate student support as well as
