IJW / Laboratory and Theory newsletter:

March 12, 1999

The following are recent publications related to laboratory or theoretical studies of the Jovian system. Papers that
focus predominantly on observations are excluded, as are theoretical studies of the Jovian magnetosphere, aurora, and Io torus. The latter papers fall under the scope of other IJW Web disciplines. Journals from LPI's library and information from NASA's Astrophysical Data System were used to compile this information; coverage of chemistry and physics journals is not complete. To ensure your paper makes future lists, please send e-mail to
moses@lpi.usra.edu.
