Abstract

The intense auroral emissions of Jupiter are well studied. However, there is still a lot of information to discover. In this study, a structure of the northern hemisphere has been analysed. It has been named Jupiter’s auroral bridge since it connects the duskside main emission and the polar region. This structure is not always visible. Three cases with different characteristics were therefore selected in order to analyse the behaviour of this feature. This study is based on the ultraviolet images obtained by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The analysis required mapping the locations where this structure appears in the ionosphere towards the equatorial plane in the magnetosphere. To do so, two different methods of mapping were considered. This data could help to infer the origin of this auroral emission. Moreover, in order to estimate its contribution to the total emitted power, the power radiated by the auroral bridge was also analysed. During this study, it was observed that this structure moves equatorward with time and that it pulsates. The periodicity was consequently estimated. This study offers some preliminary results which will be used to characterise Jupiter’s auroral bridge; a structure which has been little studied so far.

Abstract

Memoir typically places selfhood at the center. Interestingly, the genre's recent surge in popularity coincides with breakthroughs in scholarship focused on selfhood in a new way: as an always renewing, always emerging entity. Suzanne Bost draws on feminist and posthumanist ideas to explore how three contemporary memoirists decenter the self. Latinx writers John Rechy, Aurora Levins Morales, and Gloria E. Anzaldua work in places where personal history intertwines with communities, environments, animals, plants, and spirits. This dedication to interconnectedness resonates with ideas in posthumanist theory while calling on indigenous worldviews. As Bost argues, our view of life itself expands if we look at how such frameworks interact with queer theory, disability studies, ecological thinking, and other fields. These webs of relation in turn mediate experience, agency, and lift itself.

Abstract

What do you do when you realize that one of your most fundamental ideas about yourself is actually false? How do you resituate yourself in a world that has been turned upside down? This book charts the early stage of the author's journey of gender transition, as well as her process of settling down in South Africa as a fledgling academic. The story is a deeply personal one, but also one that will resonate with other transgender people, migrants, academic hopefuls, and border-crossers of all kinds. As a story of coming to terms with an identity in flux, it illustrates the fundamental open-endedness of all human identities.
