The public video lectures just cover the astronomy content from the Astronomy Notes textbook. The public lectures do not include the material that is for the astronomy class such as how to use the class Canvas, lecture outlines in the Student Guide, exam review documents, etc. Students in the Bakersfield College astronomy classes should use the astronomy class lecture videos posted in the class Canvas to get that class-specific content.
This video set concentrates on the structure, magnetospheres, and ring systems of the Jovian planets. The video lectures are grouped together in the Jovians Public YouTube playlist. For the Jovian Planet atmospheres and interiors, see the Jovian planets video lectures. Here are the individual videos for the Jovian planets:
Video 1: (for webpages #5, #6, #9, #11, and #12) This video is about the internal structure of the Jovian planets, their atmospheres, and their magnetospheres. First of a set about the Jovian planets and eleventh lecture for chapter 9 of Astronomy Notes.
Video 2: (for webpage #22) This video is about the ring systems of the Jovian planets. It covers how we know their structure and composition and how many are kept narrow by shepherding moons. It then talks about the Roche limit inside of which large moons cannot be found and then the transient nature of ring systems. Second of a set about Jovian planets and twelfth lecture for chapter 9 of Astronomy Notes.
