Radio emission in the Jovian magnetosphere driven by the quasi-linear diffusion
Electrons traveling along magnetic field lines from Jupiter to Io, driven by quasi-linear diffusion (QLD), emit synchrotron radiation. By using the small angle approximation, the kinematic equation for the particle distribution gives us the mean pitch angle value. We described how these ultrarelativistic electrons emit radiation in the GHz range when subjected to external forces.
