Current-voltage and kinetic energy flux relations for relativistic field-aligned acceleration of auroral electrons
Recent spectroscopic observations of Jupiter's "main oval" auroras indicate that the primary auroral electron beam is routinely accelerated to energies of ~100 keV, and sometimes to several hundred keV, thus approaching the relativistic regime. This suggests the need to re-examine...
