XMM-Newton Observations of X-Ray Emission from Jupiter

Branduardi-Raymont, G.; Soria, R.; Ramsay, G. +6 more

XMM-Newton observations of Jupiter show prominent soft X-ray emission from the auroral spots and, albeit at a lower intensity, from the equatorial regions. While the spectra of the auroral X-rays can be modeled with a superposition of unresolved emission lines, including most prominently those of highly ionized oxygen, Jupiter's equatorial ‘disk’ …
