Characterising injection signatures in Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora using Juno observations
Linus Head, Denis Grodent, Bertrand Bonfond +12
Discrete features in Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora have been interpreted as signatures of plasma injections in the middle magnetosphere. There exists some ambiguity whether magnetod…
Spatial variability of CH4 and C2H2 absorptions in Jupiter's auroral regions from Juno-UVS observations
J. Vinesse, B. Bonfond, B. Benmahi +8
Color ratios derived from molecular hydrogen emissions provide valuable diagnostics for the energy of precipitating electrons and the structure of the auroral atmosphere. We aim to…
The Pedersen and Hall Conductances in the Jovian Polar Regions: New Maps based on a Broadband Electron Energy Distribution
G. Sicorello, D. Grodent, B. Bonfond +9
The ionospheric Pedersen and Hall conductances play an important role in understanding the exchanges of angular momentum, energy and matter between the magnetosphere and the ionosp…
Jupiter's ultraviolet auroral bridge: the influence of the solar wind on polar auroral morphology
L. A. Head, D. Grodent, B. Bonfond +9
Jupiters ultraviolet aurora frequently shows a number of arcs between the dusk-side polar region and the main emission, which are denoted as bridges. This work presents a largely a…
